CVE-2026-34364: AVideo has User Group-Based Category Access Control Bypass via Missing and Broken Group Filtering in categories.json.php
The categories.json.php endpoint, which serves the category listing API, fails to enforce user group-based access controls on categories. In the default request path (no ?user= parameter), user group filtering is entirely skipped, exposing all non-private categories including those restricted to specific user groups. When the ?user= parameter is supplied, a type confusion bug causes the filter to use the admin user’s (user_id=1) group memberships instead of the current user’s, rendering the filter ineffective.
