High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of AVideo you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

AVideo through revision c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in plugin/PlayerSkins/seo.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to access password-protected video sources by calling getSources() without password validation. Attackers can request the seo.php endpoint with a video ID to obtain the direct MP4 URL and read protected media bytes without supplying the configured password.

The underlying weakness: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
