MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation 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 are required beyond network reachability of an AVideo instance running through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. The video_from_program API endpoint must be accessible over HTTP/HTTPS (standard web port). No authentication, no specific non-default configuration, and no user interaction is required. Exploitation is bounded to metadata enumeration (playlist names, owner information, video titles including password-protected content) - actual video stream or file content exfiltration is not described in the available data and is not confirmed as in-scope. |
| Impact | CVSS 4.0 scores this at 6.9 with VC:L/VI:N/VA:N, accurately reflecting confidentiality-limited metadata disclosure rather than full content exfiltration - playlist names, owner accounts, and video titles are exposed but actual video streams are not confirmed to be accessible. The vector is maximally permissive (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), meaning exploitation requires nothing beyond a network connection to the target instance, substantially lowering the bar versus the moderate score. EPSS data is not provided in the input; no KEV listing exists, and no public exploit code is referenced, placing this in the 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' category. Real-world priority is moderate: the low confidentiality impact caps risk, but enumeration of private/password-protected playlist metadata could feed targeted attacks (account profiling, content harvesting for further exploitation). Instances exposed to the public internet warrant prompt patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a publicly accessible AVideo instance and sends HTTP requests to the video_from_program API endpoint with arbitrary playlist IDs (iterated or guessed). The API returns private playlist metadata - names, owner accounts, video titles including password-protected entries - without validating session credentials or ownership. No exploit code is publicly referenced, but the zero-complexity unauthenticated network vector makes manual exploitation trivially achievable with basic HTTP tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026
Missing authorization in WWBN AVideo's video_from_program API endpoint allows unauthenticated network attackers to enumerate private playlist contents - including names, owner information, and video titles for password-protected playlists - without any credentials. All AVideo deployments through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 are affected; the server-side API performs no ownership or session validation before returning playlist metadata. No active exploitation is listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified, but the zero-complexity network vector makes this trivially exploitable against any reachable instance.
RemediationAI
Update WWBN AVideo to a commit past c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 per the vendor's GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-7h47-x3h5-c8xq; the exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available input data and should be verified in the advisory. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict unauthenticated external access to the video_from_program API endpoint via web server ACL rules or a WAF rule blocking unauthenticated requests to that path - note this may break anonymous playlist browsing if that is an intended use case. For publicly exposed instances, consider placing the entire AVideo deployment behind authentication at the reverse-proxy level until the patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo (formerly YouPHPTube, CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hosted open-source video platform. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the video_from_program API endpoint processes requests and returns playlist data without verifying that the caller owns or is permitted to view the requested playlist. This is a server-side access control omission - not a login bypass - where the endpoint accepts unauthenticated HTTP requests and returns private metadata because no authorization gate was implemented for ownership checks. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms zero-complexity, network-accessible exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate playlist ownership in the video_from_program API endpoint, allowing unauthenticated access to private playlist contents. Attackers can query the API without authentication to enumerate private playlist names, owner information, and video titles including password-protected content.
