CVE-2026-88867 Details
Description
WWBN AVideo, in versions up to and including commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1, contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability. objects/categoryAddNew.json.php passes the POST parameters `name` and `iconClass` to Category::setName() and Category::setIconClass(), which store the values without sanitization (setName only truncates to 45 characters). The category name is later echoed as HTML text and iconClass is echoed into a class attribute in view/modeYoutubeBottom.php and in Gallery cards (plugin/Gallery/functions.php). When the CustomizeUser option usersCanCreateNewCategories is enabled, any authenticated user with canUpload permission (granted by default via self-registration) can create a category containing a JavaScript payload; the payload then executes in the browser of any visitor, including administrators, who views a watch page or gallery entry for a video assigned to that category, allowing actions such as authenticated requests with the victim's session. The issue was unpatched at the time of reporting.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in WWBN AVideo, affecting versions through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. The issue arises in 'objects/categoryAddNew.json.php', where POST parameters 'name' and 'iconClass' are passed to 'Category::setName()' and 'Category::setIconClass()' without proper sanitization. The 'setName()' method only truncates input to 45 characters, while 'setIconClass()' accepts the string unchanged. These values are later echoed as HTML, with 'iconClass' injected into a class attribute in 'view/modeYoutubeBottom.php' and 'plugin/Gallery/functions.php'. When the 'usersCanCreateNewCategories' option is enabled, any authenticated user with 'canUpload' permission can create a category with a JavaScript payload. This payload executes in the browser of anyone, including administrators, who views a video in that category, potentially allowing actions like authenticated requests using the victim's session.
