Description
WWBN AVideo contains an unauthenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the url2Embed.json.php endpoint that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts by supplying URLs with HTML metacharacters. Attackers can mint an encrypted evideo payload containing unescaped markup, then deliver it as a legitimate-looking link on the site's own domain to execute JavaScript in victims' sessions and steal cookies or CSRF tokens.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw permits an attacker to embed arbitrary JavaScript within the url2Embed.json.php endpoint by submitting a URL that contains unescaped HTML metacharacters. Because the input is reflected unchanged in the response, any victim who loads the crafted link will have the malicious script executed inside their browser, allowing cookie theft, CSRF token theft, or other client-side exploitation.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is present in the WWBN AVideo application. No specific version range is supplied, so any deployed instance of AVideo is potentially affected until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 denotes moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available, though the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw simply by delivering a carefully constructed URL; the attack requires user interaction to open the link and is purely client-side. Without a patch, the risk remains until remediation is performed.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest WWBN AVideo security update that resolves the reflected XSS in url2Embed.json.php.
  • Validate or escape all characters from URLs sent to the url2Embed.json.php endpoint so that no HTML metacharacters are reflected back to the user.
  • Restrict or monitor access to the endpoint for anomalous URL patterns and block suspicious payloads to reduce the attack surface.
