Summary
WWBN AVideo through commit e01e41ecc (no patched version available) exposes get_api_preauthorize in plugin/API/API.php as a second, undocumented login path. Unlike get_api_signIn, which enforces a rate limit of 10 attempts per 5 minutes via checkRateLimit(), get_api_preauthorize performs the same credential check with no throttling for any client, allowing unlimited remote password guessing against arbitrary accounts, including admin. The endpoint also acts as a credential oracle: it returns the message "Invalid credentials" for both correct and incorrect passwords, while the users_id field in the response body discloses the authenticated identity (users_id:1 on success, users_id:0 on failure), and a correct password establishes a session cookie that remains usable for authenticated API requests. Together these issues permit unauthenticated brute-force account takeover.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes full takeover of admin and other user accounts without authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized data access and full system compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately disable or remove the get_api_preauthorize endpoint if possible, and implement rate limiting and monitoring for brute-force attacks.
Other vulnerabilities in WWBN AVideo
See all- CVE-2026-89243High
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in UserGroups::setGroup_name() that fails to sanitize group_name input. Administrators with canAdminUserGroups permission can inject malicious HTML and JavaScript that executes in the browser when other administrators access the user manager interface.
- CVE-2026-43885High
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform that, in versions up to 29.0, allows unauthenticated users to read APISecret from objects/plugins.json.php. This enables them to call protected API endpoints, such as users_list, without logging in.
- CVE-2026-86190Critical
WWBN AVideo contains a broken access control vulnerability in videoViewsInfo endpoints that returns complete user records including password hashes, recovery tokens, and live session identifiers to unauthenticated callers when a hash parameter is provided. Attackers can use the disclosed session identifier to hijack viewer sessions, including administrator accounts, and obtain sensitive personal data for all video viewers.
- CVE-2026-86189Critical
WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal vulnerability in notify.ffmpeg.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary locations by supplying a caller-chosen path in the avideoRelativePath parameter. Attackers can replay any previously issued ciphertext as a notifyCode token, which is decrypted but never validated, to bypass authentication and write files to the application root and subdirectories.
- CVE-2026-85154Critical
WWBN AVideo contains an authentication failure vulnerability where the video_id_hash credential is a non-expiring, non-revocable bearer token that grants full administrator session access to the video owner's account. Attackers who obtain a video_id_hash can replay it indefinitely to authenticate as the video owner with full privileges, and the credential remains valid even after the owner changes their password.
- CVE-2026-92915High
WWBN AVideo through commit e01e41ecc contains a broken access control flaw in objects/userVerifyEmail.php. The script disables the login requirement, takes users_id directly from the query string and calls User::sendVerificationLink() with no session, CSRF token, relationship check or rate limit, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to send unlimited verification emails, enumerate accounts and write password-recovery tokens onto victim accounts.
- CVE-2026-91965High
WWBN AVideo through 29.0 fails to enforce user-group restrictions in the plugin/Live/stats.json.php and plugin/Live/calendar.json.php endpoints. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve restricted live transmission details including stream keys, titles, descriptions, owner information, and direct HLS playback URLs by accessing these endpoints.
- CVE-2026-90552Medium
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to validate playlist ownership in the Playlists_schedules/list.json.php and Live/calendar.json.php endpoints, allowing authenticated and unauthenticated users to read private playlist schedule metadata. Attackers with canStream privileges or no authentication can retrieve schedule names, descriptions, timestamps, and playlist identifiers by querying these endpoints without ownership checks.
- CVE-2026-90551Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-90550Medium
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 fails to check user authorization in the PlayerSkins mediaSession.json.php endpoint before returning video metadata. Unauthenticated attackers can request the endpoint with a video ID parameter to retrieve password-protected video titles and owner email addresses without authentication.
