CVE-2026-65986 Details
Description
CVAT is an open source interactive video and image annotation tool for computer vision. Versions 2.5.0 through 2.66.0 contain a XSS vulnerability that can be accessed through annotation guide assets. When CVAT serves the files attached to an annotation guide, it labels them with a media type ( Content-Type ) that the attacker can influence, so instead of treating an uploaded file as plain data, the victim's browser can be told to treat it as an HTML page and run any JavaScript inside it. This issue has been fixed in version 2.67.0.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in CVAT (Computer Vision Annotation Tool) versions 2.5.0 prior to 2.66.0. This issue arises when annotation guide assets are uploaded with a user-specified Content-Type. CVAT serves these files with an autodetected Content-Type based on the filename, allowing an attacker to manipulate the media type and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser. Exploitation requires the victim to be tricked into opening a link to the malicious asset.
Users are advised to upgrade CVAT to version 2.67.0 or later.
