Summary
AVideo has an unauthenticated decrypt oracle leaking any ciphertext
Details

Summary

The API plugin exposes a decryptString action without any authentication. Anyone can submit ciphertext and receive plaintext. Ciphertext is issued publicly (e.g., view/url2Embed.json.php), so any user can recover protected tokens/metadata. Severity: High.

Details

  • Entry: plugin/API/get.json.php is unauthenticated.
  • Handler: plugin/API/API.php get_api_decryptString() (lines ~5945–5966): php $string = decryptString($_REQUEST['string']); return new ApiObject($string, empty($string)); No APISecret or user check occurs before decrypting.
  • Public ciphertext source: view/url2Embed.json.php returns playLink/playEmbedLink (encryptString(json_encode(...))) to any caller.

PoC

  1. Obtain ciphertext: GET /view/url2Embed.json.php?url=https://example.com/video.mp4 Copy playLink.
  2. Decrypt without auth: ``` POST /plugin/API/get.json.php?APIName=decryptString Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

string= ``` Response contains the plaintext JSON (videoLink, title, users_id, etc.).

Impact

  • Any encrypted payload produced by the platform can be decrypted by anyone.
  • Leaks tokens/links intended to be confidential; enables replay and tampering where secrecy was assumed.

Mitigation

  • Require API secret or authenticated/authorized user for decryptString, or remove the endpoint.
  • Prefer one-way signatures (HMAC) instead of exposing generic decryption.
  • Rotate encryption keys/salts after patch to invalidate exposed ciphertexts.
