AVideo's Video Moderator Privilege Escalation via Ownership Transfer Enables Arbitrary Video Deletion

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 23.03.2026 Published: 23.03.2026 Updated: 24.03.2026

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, a user with the "Videos Moderator" permission can escalate privileges to perform full video management operations — including ownership transfer and deletion of any video — despite the permission being documented as only allowing video publicity changes (Active, Inactive, Unlisted). The root cause is that Permissions::canModerateVideos() is used as an authorization gate for full video editing in videoAddNew.json.php, while videoDelete.json.php only checks ownership, creating an asymmetric authorization boundary exploitable via a two-step ownership-transfer-then-delete chain. Commit 838e16818c793779406ecbf34ebaeba9830e33f8 contains a patch.
