Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in WWBN AVideo up to 25.x and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the file setPassword.json.php. The manipulation of the argument password with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-639. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Prior to version 26.0, the `setPassword.json.php` endpoint in the CustomizeUser plugin allows administrators to set a channel password for any user. Due to a logic error in how the submitted password value is processed, any password containing non-numeric characters is silently coerced to the integer zero before being stored. This means that regardless of the intended password, the stored channel password becomes 0, which any visitor can trivially guess to bypass channel-level access control. Version 26.0 contains a patch for the issue.
