Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account on the AVideo instance (PR:L); anonymous exploitation is not possible. The target video must be configured as password-protected within AVideo. The attacker must know or enumerate the video ID of a restricted video they do not have watch permissions for. The attacker must own at least one playlist on the same instance. Limiting factors include: the attacker cannot view, stream, or download the protected video content through this path - only add a reference to it in their playlist; exploitation impact is therefore bounded by whether playlist contents are visible to other users or shared externally. Default AVideo deployments exposing the web interface over the network are affected without further special configuration.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) is broadly appropriate: exploitation requires valid credentials (PR:L) and yields only low integrity impact (VI:L), with no confidentiality or availability consequences. EPSS data is not provided in the input, and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation. The POC status is unknown. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in tczew running an internal AVideo instance should treat this as a low-urgency but legitimate access-control gap: password-protected video content can be surfaced in unauthorized user playlists, potentially exposing metadata or enabling downstream sharing in deployment contexts where playlist contents are visible to third parties. The practical blast radius is constrained - attackers cannot view or download the protected video directly through this vector, only reference it within a playlist they control - but in environments where content segregation is a security requirement (licensed media, internal-only recordings), the integrity violation carries meaningful business risk beyond the raw CVSS score.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated AVideo user identifies the numeric ID of a password-protected video they lack credentials to watch - discoverable via sequential ID enumeration or platform search features. The attacker submits a direct POST request to playListAddVideo.json.php with the target video ID and one of their own playlist IDs. The server adds the video to the playlist without checking watch permissions, allowing the attacker to reference the restricted video in a playlist context they control.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026

Missing authorization in WWBN AVideo's playListAddVideo.json.php endpoint allows authenticated users to add password-protected videos to their own playlists without possessing the watch permissions those videos require. The flaw, identified through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1, stems from the server trusting submitted video and playlist IDs without verifying whether the requesting user is authorized to access the referenced video content. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Apply the fix referenced in GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-xhg9-rc5h-rp65; no specific patched release version is identified in the available data, so operators should verify the latest commit on the WWBN/AVideo repository post-c3edcc274c and confirm the authorization check has been introduced in playListAddVideo.json.php. As a compensating control pending patch application, administrators can restrict access to the playListAddVideo.json.php endpoint via web server configuration (e.g., nginx location block or Apache FilesMatch directive) to limit it to trusted authenticated sessions only, though this may break legitimate playlist-management functionality for standard users. In deployments where content segregation is critical, auditing existing playlists for unauthorized video references is advisable, as exploitation leaves no obvious log trail beyond standard access logs.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WWBN AVideo is an open-source PHP video streaming platform (CPE cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo). The affected endpoint, playListAddVideo.json.php, handles requests to associate a video with a user-owned playlist. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the endpoint validates playlist ownership but omits a corresponding check confirming the authenticated user holds watch permissions on the target video. Password-protected videos in AVideo restrict playback behind a credential gate; this authorization layer is not consulted during the playlist-add operation, creating an insecure direct object reference scenario where the video ID alone is sufficient to attach restricted content to a playlist.

DescriptionCVE.org

WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate watch permissions in the playListAddVideo.json.php endpoint when adding videos to playlists. Authenticated attackers can add password-protected videos they cannot watch to playlists they own by submitting the video ID and playlist ID parameters.
