CVE-2026-54458 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Versions prior to 29.0 contain a stored DOM Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the YPTSocket plugin. Any unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated origin of every administrator currently viewing a page that renders the YPTSocket online-users debug panel. plugin/YPTSocket/getWebSocket.json.php issues a signed WebSocket token to any anonymous caller, and MessageSQLiteV2::onOpen at plugin/YPTSocket/MessageSQLiteV2.php lines 91 and 110 reads the attacker-controlled webSocketSelfURI and page_title query parameters from the WebSocket connection URL with no validation. Both values persist into the in-memory SQLite connections table and broadcast inside the users_id_online array sent to every connected client; on the client, plugin/YPTSocket/script.js::updateSocketUserCard interpolates the broadcast page_title into an HTML template literal that is passed to jQuery $.append(html), which parses attacker bytes into live DOM nodes including <img> with inline event handlers. Successful attackers can can read non-HttpOnly cookies and the CSRF token rendered into the admin dashboard, issue authenticated requests to any admin-only endpoint, exfiltrate the admin dashboard DOM, and chain into any admin-context mutation. When the victim is an AVideo administrator, the attacker turns a single anonymous WebSocket connection into full administrative takeover via the admin's own session. This issue has been patched by https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/8be71e53ccbe9b84b30870db386fb4d2b11e1c16.
A stored DOM Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability has been identified in the WWBN AVideo platform, specifically in versions prior to 29.0, within the YPTSocket plugin. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of authenticated administrators who are currently viewing a page with the YPTSocket online-users debug panel. The issue arises because the plugin's WebSocket connection handler reads attacker-controlled query parameters from the WebSocket URL without proper validation. These parameters are then broadcasted to all connected clients, where the injected JavaScript is executed, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information such as non-HttpOnly cookies and the CSRF token, as well as the ability to perform actions on behalf of the administrator.
Users can update to AVideo version 29.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
