CVE-2026-45620: CWE-204: Observable Response Discrepancy in WWBN AVideo
WWBN AVideo versions 29.0 and earlier contain a vulnerability in the objects/mention.json.php endpoint that allows unauthenticated user enumeration. The endpoint lacks proper authentication checks such as User::loginCheck() or admin gate, relying only on a weak entry guard that matches a request parameter. This flaw enables attackers to enumerate users without authentication. The vulnerability is assigned CVE-2026-45620 with a medium severity and a CVSS score of 5.3. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-45620 affects WWBN AVideo (<= 29.0) due to insufficient access control in the objects/mention.json.php file. The endpoint does not enforce user login or admin privileges and only uses a basic regex check on the 'term' request parameter. This allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate users by observing response discrepancies. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-204 (Observable Response Discrepancy) and CWE-285 (Improper Authorization). No known exploits are reported, and no official fix has been published.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate users on affected WWBN AVideo instances by exploiting the lack of proper authentication and authorization checks in the mention.json.php endpoint. This can lead to privacy concerns and potentially facilitate further targeted attacks. The impact is limited to information disclosure (user enumeration) without direct integrity or availability effects.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider restricting access to the affected endpoint or implementing custom authentication checks to prevent unauthenticated user enumeration.
