CVE-2026-89240: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in WWBN AVideo
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in plugin/Live/confirmLivePassword.php. The script interpolates the unauthenticated GET parameter u (which is not covered by $securityFilter) directly into an <img src="..."> attribute without URL- or HTML-encoding. A remote attacker can craft a link containing a double-quote character in u (with a non-empty key parameter and no valid c parameter) to close the src attribute and inject an additional tag with an onerror handler, executing arbitrary JavaScript in the site's origin in the browser of any user, including an administrator, who opens the link. No patched version was available at the time of the advisory.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
WWBN AVideo contains a reflected XSS vulnerability in the confirmLivePassword.php plugin script. The GET parameter 'u' is not sanitized or encoded before being interpolated into an <img src="..."> attribute. By injecting a double-quote character in 'u' along with a non-empty 'key' parameter and absence of a valid 'c' parameter, an attacker can break out of the src attribute and inject an additional HTML tag with an onerror JavaScript handler. This allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site for any user who clicks the crafted link.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of users who open the malicious link, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or other actions performed with the privileges of the victim user, including administrators. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a crafted link) and does not require authentication.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix was available at the time of the advisory. Users and administrators should exercise caution when clicking links involving the vulnerable parameter. Monitor the vendor's advisories for updates and patches. Consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting this parameter until an official fix is released.
