AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability exists in the get_api_video endpoint of AVideo through version 29.0, specifically in the clean_title branch. Due to broken access control, anonymous attackers can bypass user-group restrictions by querying videos using their public slugs.

The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, indicating a high impact with no required privileges or user interaction for exploitation.
Potential Impact
Exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to access videos restricted to certain user groups and retrieve sensitive personal information about video owners. This exposure of PII can lead to privacy violations and potential further targeted attacks against affected users or administrators.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the get_api_video API endpoint or implement additional access control checks to prevent unauthorized queries by anonymous users.
