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 authentication is required - exploitation targets default AVideo deployments with no special server configuration required beyond the presence of password-protected videos. The limiting factor is that leaked data is confined to video titles and owner email addresses; actual video content is not exposed. Attackers must be able to reach the AVideo web server over the network and must iterate or guess integer video IDs to discover valid entries. The vulnerability exclusively affects installations where users have created password-protected videos; instances with no password-protected content expose no additional data beyond what is already public. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) correctly reflects frictionless unauthenticated network exploitation with no special attack requirements, while the VC:L score appropriately caps the impact at low confidentiality - leaked data is limited to video titles and owner email addresses, not video content or credentials. EPSS data is not provided in the source intelligence, and there is no CISA KEV listing and no confirmed public proof-of-concept at time of analysis, so real-world exploitation probability cannot be independently quantified. The vulnerability is notable precisely because it targets content owners who explicitly chose password protection as a privacy measure, meaning even a mid-sized municipal IT team in zabrze running AVideo for internal media sharing would find that attackers can enumerate protected video metadata in bulk by iterating integer video IDs. The SSVC exploitation dimension is 'none' based on available signals, and automatable mass enumeration is feasible given the low complexity, making this a moderate privacy risk despite its moderate severity score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a sequence of HTTP GET requests to the target AVideo installation's PlayerSkins/mediaSession.json.php endpoint, incrementing integer video ID parameters across a range. For each password-protected video in the system, the endpoint returns a JSON object containing the video title and the owner's email address without prompting for the video password. The attacker thereby harvests a directory of protected video titles paired with owner email addresses, which can be used for targeted phishing or to expose sensitive content descriptions the owner intended to keep private. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026
Missing authorization in the PlayerSkins mediaSession.json.php endpoint of WWBN AVideo exposes protected video metadata to unauthenticated network attackers. By supplying a video ID parameter to this endpoint, any remote attacker can retrieve the title and owner email address of password-protected videos without providing credentials, defeating the access-control intent of password protection. No public exploit or KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects a narrowly scoped confidentiality impact limited to metadata rather than video content.
RemediationAI
Update WWBN AVideo to a commit after c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 once a patched release is available per the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-g79r-wg9m-3fh3 (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-g79r-wg9m-3fh3). A specific patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available data; operators should monitor the WWBN/AVideo repository for a tagged release that addresses this advisory. As a compensating control, network-level access restrictions on the PlayerSkins/mediaSession.json.php path via web server configuration (e.g., Apache .htaccess or nginx location block) can block unauthenticated access to the endpoint; however, this may affect legitimate player session functionality and must be tested. Operators who rely on password-protected video privacy should consider disabling password-protected video features or migrating sensitive content to a separately authenticated access control mechanism until a patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a PHP-based self-hosted video-sharing platform by WWBN. The PlayerSkins module includes a mediaSession.json.php endpoint that returns JSON-encoded video session metadata. The root cause is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information), originating from an absent authorization gate before the metadata query executes - the endpoint accepts a video ID parameter and returns stored metadata regardless of whether the caller is the authenticated owner, a valid password-holder, or an anonymous visitor. Affected versions span all commits up to and including c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. The PHP attack surface is entirely network-reachable with no prerequisite authentication.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to check user authorization in the PlayerSkins mediaSession.json.php endpoint before returning video metadata. Unauthenticated attackers can request the endpoint with a video ID parameter to retrieve password-protected video titles and owner email addresses without authentication.
