CVE-2026-43876: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in WWBN AVideo
CVE-2026-43876 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WWBN AVideo versions up to and including 29. 0. The vulnerability arises because the application takes an attacker-controlled message parameter from a POST request and inserts it directly into an HTML email template without sanitization or encoding. Authenticated users with upload permissions can exploit this to send arbitrary HTML content, including phishing links or tracking pixels, to up to 10,000 subscribers per message. The emails appear to come from the platform's official contact address and branding, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering. A fix has been committed in the project's repository, but no official patch or advisory details are provided in this data. The CVSS score is 6. 4, indicating medium severity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
WWBN AVideo versions ≤ 29.0 contain an XSS vulnerability in the objects/notifySubscribers.json.php endpoint. The vulnerability occurs because the raw 'message' POST parameter is passed directly into the sendSiteEmail() function, which substitutes it into an HTML email template without any HTML sanitization, character escaping, or output encoding before rendering with PHPMailer::msgHTML(). This allows authenticated users with upload permissions to send arbitrary HTML content to all subscribers of their channel, potentially enabling phishing, UI spoofing, or tracking. The emails are sent from the platform's configured contact address and include official branding, making the malicious content appear legitimate. A code commit addressing this issue exists but no official patch or remediation level is specified in the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated upload permissions can send crafted HTML emails to up to 10,000 subscribers per invocation. These emails can contain phishing links, tracking pixels, or UI spoofing elements, potentially leading to credential theft or privacy violations. The emails appear to originate from the official platform contact address and include branding, increasing the risk of successful social engineering attacks. There is no indication of direct system compromise or denial of service from this vulnerability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. A code commit addressing the vulnerability exists in the WWBN AVideo GitHub repository. Until an official patch is released and applied, restrict upload permissions to trusted users only to reduce risk. Monitor official WWBN channels for updates and apply the fix once available.
