Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects WWBN AVideo, an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 29.0, an unauthenticated user can access the APISecret by reading the file objects/plugins.json.php. With this APISecret, the attacker can call protected API endpoints, such as users_list, without needing to log in.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, update WWBN AVideo to a version later than 29.0 where the fix is applied (commit 1c36f229d0a103528fb9f64d0a1cc0e1e8f5999b). This will prevent unauthenticated users from reading the APISecret and accessing protected API endpoints.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to access sensitive API secrets and call protected API endpoints without authentication. This can lead to unauthorized data access, potential data leakage, and compromise of user information or platform functionality.
