Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multiple authentication bypass vulnerabilities exist in the objects id handling functionality of WWBN AVideo 11.6 and dev master commit 3f7c0364. A specially-crafted HTTP request by an authenticated user can lead to unauthorized access and takeover of resources. An attacker can send an HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.This vulnerability exists in the Playlists plugin, allowing an attacker to bypass authentication by guessing a sequential ID, allowing them to take over the another user's playlists.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is an IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability in AVideo's Playlists plugin. An authenticated attacker can access or take over another user's playlists by manipulating sequential playlist IDs, bypassing proper authorization checks that should verify ownership before granting access to playlist resources.

MitigationImplement proper object-level authorization checks in the Playlists plugin to verify the authenticated user owns or has permission to access the requested playlist ID before returning or modifying any playlist data.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm AVideo installation version
    Locate the version file or admin panel that displays the AVideo version. Common locations include /version.php, the About page in admin panel, or the footer of the dashboard.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.6 or falls within the affected range.
  2. Verify Playlists plugin is enabled
    Access the AVideo admin panel and navigate to the Plugins or Modules section. Look for 'Playlists' in the list of enabled plugins.
    Affected if The Playlists plugin is installed and enabled on the system.
  3. Check playlist ID sequence pattern
    Create two different user accounts, create playlists for each, and examine the playlist IDs assigned. Look for sequential or predictable numbering (e.g., IDs increment by 1).
    Affected if Playlist IDs are sequentially assigned and predictable rather than random or cryptographically secure.
  4. Inspect playlist access controls
    As User A, attempt to access a playlist belonging to User B by modifying the playlist ID parameter in the URL or API request. Common endpoints include /plugin/playlists/view, /plugin/playlists/save, or similar playlist-related routes.
    Affected if User A can view, edit, or delete User B's playlists without proper ownership verification.

A user is affected if they are running AVideo version 11.6 with the Playlists plugin enabled and can access another user's playlist by manipulating the playlist ID, indicating missing authorization checks.
