CVE-2026-43885 · Severity: high · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-05-11

WWBN AVideo is an open-source video sharing and streaming platform. A security flaw allows unauthenticated visitors to access sensitive configuration files that contain the system's API secret key.

## Technical details

A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability exists in WWBN AVideo due to improper authorization checks in the 'objects/plugins.json.php' endpoint. This endpoint is publicly accessible and fails to redact the 'APISecret' stored within the 'object_data' field for unauthenticated requests. An attacker can retrieve this secret and use it as a valid authentication token for the 'plugin/API/get.json.php' endpoint. This allows the attacker to execute protected API calls, such as 'users_list', effectively bypassing authentication. A fix has been introduced in commit 1c36f229d0a103528fb9f64d0a1cc0e1e8f5999b.
