Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the password recovery endpoint at `objects/userRecoverPass.php` performs user existence and account status checks before validating the captcha. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate valid usernames and determine whether accounts are active, inactive, or banned — at scale and without solving any captcha — by observing three distinct JSON error responses. Commit e42f54123b460fd1b2ee01f2ce3d4a386e88d157 contains a patch.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability occurs in the password recovery endpoint of the AVideo platform, where user existence and account status checks are performed before captcha validation. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger three distinct JSON error responses and, without solving any captcha, determine whether a supplied username exists and whether the account is active, inactive, or banned. This allows enumeration of valid usernames and disclosure of account status, represented by CWE‑204.

Affected Systems

The affected product is WWBN AVideo, versions up to and including 26.0. No additional products or vendors are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.3 and an EPSS score below 1 %, the vulnerability has moderate severity and low to moderate exploitation probability. The attacker requires only unauthenticated access to the public password recovery endpoint, indicating a remote network attack vector. Although the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, it can still facilitate further attacks such as targeted credential stuffing or impersonation by exposing legitimate usernames and account states.
