CVE-2026-34369: AVideo has Video Password Protection Bypass via API Endpoints Returning Full Playback Sources Without Password Verification
The get_api_video_file and get_api_video API endpoints in AVideo return full video playback sources (direct MP4 URLs, HLS manifests) for password-protected videos without verifying the video password. While the normal web playback flow enforces password checks via the CustomizeUser::getModeYouTube() hook, this enforcement is completely absent from the API code path. An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve direct playback URLs for any password-protected video by calling the API directly.
