Description
WWBN AVideo through commit 9c39d8c8 contains an incomplete authentication bypass in encryptPass.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to compute valid HMAC tokens using the public site URL and current time. Attackers can forge authentication tokens by computing hash_hmac with the site's base URL as the key and submit arbitrary passwords to receive encrypted hashes, enabling offline precomputation attacks against stolen password databases.

AI Analysis

Impact

WWBN AVideo exposes an unauthenticated password hash oracle via the encryptPass.json.php endpoint, allowing attackers to compute valid HMAC tokens using the site’s public URL and the current time. By forging these tokens, attackers can submit arbitrary passwords to receive encrypted hashes, which can then be used in offline precomputation attacks against stolen password databases. The vulnerability effectively bypasses authentication and facilitates credential compromise without initial login credentials.

Affected Systems

The flaw exists in WWBN AVideo versions up to commit 9c39d8c8. Any instance of the application that has not yet applied the fix for this commit is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. The attack surface is a publicly accessible endpoint requiring no prior authentication; the exploit uses the site’s base URL and current time as inputs to generate the token. Although the EPSS score is not available, the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it may not have widespread exploitation yet, but the potential to steal and precompute password hashes remains a significant risk to confidentiality and authentication integrity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update WWBN AVideo to the latest release that resolves the encryptPass.json.php authentication bypass.
  • Restrict or remove access to encryptPass.json.php if the feature is not required, or protect it behind proper authentication and rate limiting.
  • After patching, rotate existing stored password hashes and ensure they are salted and generated with a strong algorithm such as bcrypt to mitigate future hash‑of‑hash attacks.
