Description
AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8 contains an information exposure vulnerability in feed/index.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve channel owner email addresses by supplying a public channel name parameter. Attackers can enumerate all creator email addresses by iterating through public channel names and extract them from the itunes:email and itunes:author RSS elements, enabling account takeover attempts and phishing campaigns.

AI Analysis

Impact

An attacker who can access a public endpoint, feed/index.php, can provide any public channel name as a parameter and receive the channel owner’s email address within the itunes:email and itunes:author RSS elements. The data is delivered without authentication, meaning that any web‑connected user can discover the email addresses of all channel owners. The attacker can then use these addresses in phishing or social‑engineering campaigns to impersonate the owner or to attempt credential compromise. The vulnerability falls under CWE‑200, Information Exposure.

Affected Systems

The affected application is WWBN:AVideo (AVideo). The vulnerability is present in versions that contain commit 9c39d8c8 and any subsequent releases that have not applied a corrective change. No specific product version numbers are provided by the advisory, so administrators should verify whether their deployed instance includes the vulnerable code base or has been patched since that commit.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, which means the probability of exploitation is currently undefined, but the lack of a KEV marking suggests no known active exploitation at this time. Nonetheless, the attack is remote, unauthenticated, and can be automated by enumerating public channel names. The risk is that an attacker can harvest many emails, potentially leading to a broad phishing campaign and facilitating targeted account takeover attempts. Administrators should consider the exposure of sensitive data and the ease with which the flaw can be exploited when deciding on remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Deploy the latest AVideo release that contains a fix for the feed/index.php information exposure flaw
  • If a patch is not yet available, edit feed/index.php to remove or obfuscate the itunes:email and itunes:author elements so that channel owner emails are no longer exposed
  • Restrict access to feed/index.php to authenticated users or apply an ACL that prevents enumeration of public channels by unauthenticated parties
  • Monitor logs for repeated access patterns to public channel names, which may indicate an attacker attempting to harvest email addresses
