Official description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the password recovery endpoint at `objects/userRecoverPass.php` performs user existence and account status checks before validating the captcha. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate valid usernames and determine whether accounts are active, inactive, or banned — at scale and without solving any captcha — by observing three distinct JSON error responses. Commit e42f54123b460fd1b2ee01f2ce3d4a386e88d157 contains a patch.
