Summary

CVE-2026-28354 is a medium-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability in Oxygenz Clipbucket. Its CVSS base score is 5.7 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 18th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-25 (Reference Monitor) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

ClipBucket v5 is an open source video sharing platform. Prior to version 5.5.3 #59, collection item operations are vulnerable to authorization flaws, allowing a normal authenticated user to modify another user’s collection items. This affects both add item (/actions/add_to_collection.php) due…

more

to missing authorization checks and delete item (/manage_collections.php?mode=manage_items...) due to a broken ownership check in removeItemFromCollection(). As a result, attackers can insert and remove items from collections they do not own. Version 5.5.3 #59 fixes the issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

AC-24 Access Control Decisions good match

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

AC-25 Reference Monitor good match

A reference monitor that is always invoked and tamper-proof forces every authorization decision through a verified, correct path.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

A.8.3 Information access restriction mostly match
prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

A.5.15 Access control partial match
prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

A.5.18 Access rights partial match
prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

A.8.2 Privileged access rights partial match
mitigates

Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
