GHSA-6W2R-CFPC-23R5
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-07 02:25 – Updated: 2026-03-10 18:43Product: AVideo (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo) Version: Latest (tested March 2026) Type: Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) Auth Required: No User Interaction: None
Summary
The /objects/playlistsFromUser.json.php endpoint returns all playlists for any user without requiring authentication or authorization. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate user IDs and retrieve playlist information including playlist names, video IDs, and playlist status for any user on the platform.
Root Cause
The endpoint accepts a users_id parameter and directly queries the database without any authentication or authorization check.
File: objects/playlistsFromUser.json.php
if (empty($_GET['users_id'])) {
die("You need a user");
}
// NO AUTHENTICATION CHECK
// NO AUTHORIZATION CHECK (does this user_id belong to the requester?)
$row = PlayList::getAllFromUser($_GET['users_id'], false);
echo json_encode($row);
There is no call to User::isLogged() or any comparison between the requesting user and the target users_id.
Affected Code
| File | Line | Issue |
|---|---|---|
objects/playlistsFromUser.json.php |
10-21 | No authentication or authorization check before returning playlist data |
Proof of Concept
Retrieve admin's playlists (user ID 1)
curl "https://TARGET/objects/playlistsFromUser.json.php?users_id=1"
Response:
[
{"id":false,"name":"Watch Later","status":"watch_later","users_id":1},
{"id":false,"name":"Favorite","status":"favorite","users_id":1}
]
Impact
- Privacy violation — any visitor can see all users' playlist names and contents
- User enumeration — valid user IDs can be discovered by iterating through IDs
- Information gathering — playlist names and video IDs reveal user interests and private content preferences
- Targeted attacks — gathered information can be used for social engineering or further exploitation
Remediation
Add authentication and authorization checks:
// Option 1: Require authentication + only own playlists
if (!User::isLogged()) {
die(json_encode(['error' => 'Authentication required']));
}
if ($_GET['users_id'] != User::getId() && !User::isAdmin()) {
die(json_encode(['error' => 'Access denied']));
}
// Option 2: If public playlists are intended, filter by visibility
$row = PlayList::getAllFromUser($_GET['users_id'], false, 'public');

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
