CVE-2026-33867: AVideo has Plaintext Video Password Storage

March 26, 2026 (updated March 27, 2026)

AVideo allows content owners to password-protect individual videos. The video password is stored in the database in plaintext — no hashing, salting, or encryption is applied. If an attacker gains read access to the database (via SQL injection, a database backup, or misconfigured access controls), they obtain all video passwords in cleartext.
