Technical details

SeaCMS 13.6 contains a missing authorization check in ass.php that discloses video playback metadata and URLs regardless of payment or VIP status. The endpoint reads payment flags (v_money, v_vip) and calculates an isauth authorization status, but returns the complete video URL array before enforcing the authorization decision. An unauthenticated attacker can send a GET request to /ass.php with video ID parameters to retrieve full escaped playback URLs for paywalled content, even when the response marks the caller as unauthorized (isauth=n). No authentication or user interaction is required; the attack is purely network-based. The fix requires enforcing authorization checks before assembling or returning any protected media URLs.
