"summary" : "AVideo has an unauthenticated decrypt oracle leaking any ciphertext",
"details" : "### Summary\nThe API plugin exposes a `decryptString` action without any authentication. Anyone can submit ciphertext and receive plaintext. Ciphertext is issued publicly (e.g., `view/url2Embed.json.php`), so any user can recover protected tokens/metadata. Severity: High.\n\n### Details\n- Entry: `plugin/API/get.json.php` is unauthenticated.\n- Handler: `plugin/API/API.php` `get_api_decryptString()` (lines ~5945–5966):\n ```php\n $string = decryptString($_REQUEST['string']);\n return new ApiObject($string, empty($string));\n ```\n No APISecret or user check occurs before decrypting.\n- Public ciphertext source: `view/url2Embed.json.php` returns `playLink`/`playEmbedLink` (`encryptString(json_encode(...))`) to any caller.\n\n### PoC\n1. Obtain ciphertext:\n ```\n GET /view/url2Embed.json.php?url=https://example.com/video.mp4\n ```\n Copy `playLink`.\n2. Decrypt without auth:\n ```\n POST /plugin/API/get.json.php?APIName=decryptString\n Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n\n string=<playLink ciphertext>\n ```\n Response contains the plaintext JSON (videoLink, title, users_id, etc.).\n\n### Impact\n- Any encrypted payload produced by the platform can be decrypted by anyone.\n- Leaks tokens/links intended to be confidential; enables replay and tampering where secrecy was assumed.\n\n### Mitigation\n- Require API secret or authenticated/authorized user for `decryptString`, or remove the endpoint.\n- Prefer one-way signatures (HMAC) instead of exposing generic decryption.\n- Rotate encryption keys/salts after patch to invalidate exposed ciphertexts.",
