## Technical details

The API::get_api_tags() function in plugin/API/API.php fails to properly authorize access to the tags API endpoint. Authenticated users can query the APIName=tags parameter to retrieve restricted video metadata from the tags_has_videos table without permission checks. An attacker can obtain video filenames, titles, and stored video_password values for unlisted and access-controlled videos.
