Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the endpoint `plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php` lacks any authentication or authorization check, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the complete permission matrix mapping user groups to plugins. All sibling endpoints in the same directory (`add.json.php`, `delete.json.php`, `index.php`) properly require `User::isAdmin()`, indicating this is an oversight. Commits dc3c825734628bb32550d0daa125f05bacb6829c and b583acdc9a9d1eab461543caa363e1a104fb4516 contain patches.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to query the endpoint "plugin/Permissions/View/Users_groups_permissions/list.json.php" without any authentication or authorization check. This results in the disclosure of the entire permission matrix that maps user groups to plugin capabilities. Because the data reveals which plugins are enabled for each group, an attacker could plan targeted attacks or attempt privilege escalation based on available functionalities. The weakness is a classic example of insufficient privilege checks (CWE-862).

Affected Systems

The issue affects the AVideo video platform developed by WWBN, specifically all releases up to and including version 26.0. Users running these versions are at risk unless they apply the available patch or upgrade to a newer release that contains the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS Base Score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS Score of less than 1% suggests low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no public exploit is known. Attackers could reach the vulnerable endpoint directly over HTTP/HTTPS from anywhere, requiring no credentials. Once accessed, the endpoint returns full permission mappings in JSON format, allowing straightforward data extraction. Consequently, the risk is moderate for exposed data and low for immediate exploitation, but the lack of authentication makes it trivial for a determined adversary.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AVideo to a version newer than 26.0 or apply the patch commits b583acdc9a9d1eab461543caa363e1a104fb4516 or dc3c825734628bb32550d0daa125f05bacb6829c that add the missing authentication check to the endpoint.
  • Configure firewall or web‑server rules to block external access to any URL path under /plugin/Permissions/ so that only internal users can reach the controller. This limits the attack surface while the patch is applied.
  • Verify that the endpoint now requires an authenticated admin session by attempting to access it after the upgrade or patch; a 403 forbidden or authentication prompt should appear instead of permission data.
