CVE-2026-100855: AzuraCast media file download permission bypass

CVE-2026-100855 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-09-27

Technologies: AzuraCast. Vendors: AzuraCast.

Executive brief

AzuraCast is a self-hosted radio streaming platform. The /play endpoint fails to check whether an authenticated user has permission to access a specific radio station, allowing any logged-in user to download all media files from stations they don't have access to. In multi-tenant deployments, attackers can exfiltrate complete music libraries from other tenants' stations using sequential file ID enumeration.

Technical details

The GET /api/station/{station_id}/file/{id}/play endpoint in AzuraCast backend/config/routes/api_station.php is missing the Middleware\Permissions check that protects adjacent endpoints in the same /file/{id} route group. While RequireLogin middleware verifies the user is authenticated, it does not validate station-level permissions; the controller's call to mediaRepo->requireForStation() only checks media-station association, not authorization. Media IDs are auto-increment integers, enabling trivial sequential enumeration of the entire media library.
