Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Detectable: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-41420, European organizations should immediately implement the following measures: 1) Apply strict input validation and output encoding on the cancelUri parameter to neutralize malicious scripts; 2) If possible, upgrade to a patched version of AVideo once available or apply vendor-provided security patches promptly; 3) Deploy and tune Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block XSS attack patterns targeting the cancelUri parameter; 4) Conduct security reviews and penetration testing focused on input handling in the userLogin functionality; 5) Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links and implement browser security features such as Content Security Policy (CSP) to limit script execution; 6) Monitor web server logs for unusual or suspicious HTTP requests containing script payloads; 7) Restrict the use of the cancelUri parameter if feasible or sanitize it server-side; 8) Implement multi-factor authentication to reduce the impact of stolen credentials; 9) Maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any exploitation attempts. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice and focus on the specific vulnerable component and attack vector.

Description

A cross-site scripting (xss) vulnerability exists in the userLogin cancelUri parameter functionality of WWBN AVideo 14.4 and dev master commit 8a8954ff. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to arbitrary Javascript execution. An attacker can get a user to visit a webpage to trigger this vulnerability.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-41420 can be severe. AVideo is used by various media companies, educational institutions, and enterprises for video content delivery and streaming services. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, leakage of sensitive video content, and potential lateral movement within the network if attackers leverage stolen credentials or session tokens. This can damage organizational reputation, violate data protection regulations such as GDPR, and cause operational disruption. The ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript also opens avenues for phishing, malware distribution, and further exploitation of client systems. Given the critical CVSS score and the fact that exploitation requires only user interaction without authentication, the threat surface is broad. Organizations with public-facing AVideo login portals are particularly vulnerable, and the impact extends to end users and administrators alike. The lack of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread attacks occur.

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
