⚠️ A public API endpoint in AVideo versions prior to 20.1 is spilling sensitive user info like a leaky faucet! Think of it as a restaurant that mistakenly leaves its guest list on display for anyone to see—everyone can see who ordered what, including emails and last login times! This vulnerability opens the door for attackers to enumerate users like a buffet menu—exposing private information can lead to targeted attacks and serious privacy violations. Imagine having your email and login history laid bare for all to see!
