CVE-2026-100851 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.6 · Published 2026-09-27

AzuraCast is a web-based radio station management platform that controls broadcasting infrastructure including Icecast/Shoutcast audio servers. A broken access control vulnerability allows staff members with only read-only permissions to retrieve plaintext admin passwords for the audio servers, which they can then use to access the server's admin panel and manage live broadcasts without proper authorization.

## Technical details

The GET /api/station/{id}/vue/profile endpoint in AzuraCast before 0.23.8 performs insufficient permission checks, applying only View-level permission middleware instead of requiring Broadcasting permission. An authenticated attacker with StationPermissions::View can request this endpoint and receive plaintext Icecast/Shoutcast admin, source, and relay passwords in the JSON response, then use the leaked admin credentials to access the audio server's admin interface (e.g., /admin/stats) for unauthorized control actions.
