- Check whether you run wwbn/avideo (Packagist) or WWBN AVideo at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.
Technical details
The vulnerability is a missing authentication check (CWE-306) in the decryptMessage.json.php endpoint. The endpoint accepts JSON-formatted requests containing three user-supplied fields: a private key block, ciphertext, and key passphrase. The server directly invokes the decryptMessage() function on this data without calling any authentication or session validation routine (e.g., User::isLogged()). Since the endpoint is publicly accessible and performs no access control checks, any unauthenticated request is processed. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity: an attacker submits a POST request with JSON body containing the three fields and receives decrypted plaintext in the response. Primary impacts include: (1) private key material processed in server memory and potentially captured in application, web server, or error logs; and (2) unconstrained CPU consumption for cryptographic operations on behalf of unauthenticated users. No patch is currently available for affected versions <= 25.0.
