| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately reflects the low direct confidentiality impact - this does not yield RCE or privilege escalation on its own. The realistic threat is chained exploitation: an attacker first harvests the secret admin-tool parameters via this endpoint, then uses those parameters to access or invoke admin functionality that would otherwise require knowledge of unpublished URL patterns. Whether those downstream admin tools enforce proper authentication independently is the critical unknown. No KEV listing, no EPSS data, and no public POC are available, suggesting this has not been mass-exploited. The risk is elevated for internet-facing AVideo instances where admin tools rely on URL-embedded secrets as a partial access control mechanism. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c exposes inactive admin menu items and embedded secret query parameters via the unprotected plugin/TopMenu/menuItems.json.php PHP endpoint. Any network-reachable attacker can POST a menuId parameter to retrieve admin-tool URLs that are hidden from the public navbar, including secret tokens or keys embedded directly in those URLs. While the direct impact is limited confidentiality exposure (CVSS 4.0 VC:L), the leaked secret query parameters represent a stepping stone that could enable follow-on attacks against otherwise-obscured admin functionality. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix referenced in the vendor GitHub security advisory GHSA-h964-rxm2-fpgj (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-h964-rxm2-fpgj); the exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available input data, so operators should check the advisory for the specific commit or tag to upgrade to. As an immediate compensating control, restrict access to plugin/TopMenu/menuItems.json.php at the web server level (e.g., via Nginx deny all or Apache Require all denied for that path) to prevent unauthenticated POST requests - this blocks the disclosure without affecting authenticated admin functionality. Longer-term, audit all admin-tool endpoints for missing authentication checks and avoid embedding secrets directly in URL query parameters; instead use short-lived server-side session tokens.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hosted PHP-based video streaming platform. The vulnerable endpoint plugin/TopMenu/menuItems.json.php implements a server-side handler that renders menu item data for the admin top navigation. The root cause is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), compounded by missing authentication (the endpoint performs no session or credential check before returning data). Inactive admin menu items - normally hidden from the rendered UI - are stored server-side and retrievable by supplying a menuId POST parameter. Critically, some of these items embed secret query parameters (tokens, keys, or nonces) directly in their URL strings, violating the principle that obscurity alone is not access control.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the plugin/TopMenu/menuItems.json.php endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read inactive admin menu items by submitting a POST request with a menuId parameter. Attackers can retrieve hidden menu item URLs including embedded admin-tool secret query parameters not exposed in the public navbar.
