MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of WWBN AVideo where the channel page is publicly reachable. The vulnerability is triggered by any HTTP request to the channel endpoint and does not require the attacker to hold an account, authenticate, or interact with any UI element. Exploitation is bounded by impact: only video URLs and thumbnails are disclosed, not credentials, source code, or server data. The attacker must be able to reach the AVideo HTTP service over the network (AV:N) and must know or discover the URL of at least one AVideo channel, which is standard discoverable functionality. Deployments that are entirely firewalled or require network-layer authentication before reaching the AVideo service are not directly exposed. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) accurately characterizes this as a low-complexity, unauthenticated, network-reachable disclosure with limited confidentiality impact - video URLs and thumbnails leak, but no code execution, data modification, or availability impact is present. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in inowroclaw running AVideo for internal training or community media hosting should treat this as urgent if their unlisted content carries any sensitivity, since the attack path requires only a standard HTTP request. No EPSS score was provided, no KEV listing exists, and no public exploit code was identified, suggesting opportunistic mass exploitation is not yet occurring. However, the zero-friction exploitation prerequisites (no authentication, no special tooling, no user interaction) mean any motivated actor with knowledge of an AVideo installation can immediately enumerate protected content. The primary risk variable is content sensitivity: platforms using AVideo to protect commercially or personally sensitive video material face a meaningful breach of their confidentiality model, while installations containing only genuinely public videos are unaffected in practice. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a standard HTTP GET request to the AVideo public channel page endpoint of any reachable AVideo installation. The response includes full URLs to videos the operator configured as unlisted and thumbnail images of member-only content, despite those visibility settings being active. No exploit tooling, credentials, or browser interaction is required - a single curl command suffices to extract the protected content references. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 03, 2026
Broken access control on the WWBN AVideo public channel page allows unauthenticated remote visitors to retrieve full URLs of unlisted videos and thumbnails of member-only content, bypassing the operator-configured hidePrivateVideos setting. The flaw originates from hardcoded visibility flags and an undefined property check in the channel endpoint's authorization logic, rendering the platform's content-restriction model ineffective. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix documented in the GitHub security advisory GHSA-h779-9wfc-c6m8 at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-h779-9wfc-c6m8; the exact minimum safe release version is not independently confirmed from the available data and must be verified directly against the advisory before upgrading. As a compensating control pending patching, administrators can restrict access to the channel endpoint at the web server or reverse proxy layer using IP allowlists or require HTTP authentication in front of the entire AVideo installation - note that the latter will break legitimate public video browsing if the site is intended for open access. Relying solely on the hidePrivateVideos operator setting does not mitigate this vulnerability, as that setting is the one being bypassed. Operators should also audit access logs for the channel endpoint for unexpected enumeration activity.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WWBN AVideo is a self-hosted, open-source PHP video platform supporting public, unlisted, and group-restricted visibility tiers. The affected code path is the public channel page endpoint, which is responsible for enumerating videos associated with a channel. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) applies: the root cause is that the access control check relies on a hardcoded visibility flag and an undefined PHP property rather than properly evaluating the operator's hidePrivateVideos configuration. Because the undefined property evaluates as falsy rather than triggering an error or a deny decision, the gate is effectively always open. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all tracked versions are affected, consistent with a logic defect rather than a version-specific regression.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo fails to properly validate access controls on the public channel page, allowing unauthenticated visitors to view unlisted and group-restricted videos through hardcoded visibility flags and an undefined property. Attackers can access the channel endpoint to retrieve sensitive video content that should be hidden, including full URLs to unlisted videos and thumbnails of member-only content, regardless of the operator's hidePrivateVideos setting.
