CVE-2026-50182 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Versions prior to 29.0 contain an unauthenticated Reflected XSS vulnerability through AVideo YouTubeAPI Gallery Pagination. The $_GET['search'] query parameter is concatenated directly into the href attribute of two pagination links in plugin/YouTubeAPI/gallerySection.php (lines 67 and 74) with no htmlspecialchars, no urlencode, and no allow-list check. An injected <script> element is then extracted by the AVideo Layout plugin and concatenated into a single trailing inline script block at the bottom of the page, where the browser executes it. Any unauthenticated attacker can lure a victim into following a crafted URL to execute arbitrary JavaScript under the AVideo origin, which can read non-HttpOnly cookies and issue authenticated AJAX requests as the victim, and when the victim is an administrator, it can perform any cookie-authenticated admin action (create user, promote to admin, change configuration, install plugin), escalating a single click into full administrative takeover. This issue has been patched by this commit: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/f50fc033b7adb36f1ffd6640e7826468bdafdec3.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in WWBN AVideo versions prior to 29.0. The issue arises in the YouTubeAPI plugin's gallery pagination, where the 'search' query parameter is directly inserted into the href attribute of pagination links without proper sanitization. This lack of htmlspecialchars, urlencode, and allow-list checks allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject a script element that is executed in the context of the victim's browser session under the AVideo origin. The vulnerability can be exploited to read non-HttpOnly cookies and perform authenticated AJAX requests as the victim. If the victim is an administrator, it could lead to a complete administrative takeover.
Users can update to AVideo version 29.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
