MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an account with conference creation or editing privileges on the targeted TrueConf Server 5.5.2.10813 instance (CVSS PR:L confirms authentication is mandatory). The attacker must insert the malicious payload into the conference description field via the Create or Edit conference interface. Victim interaction is required: the payload only executes when a target user navigates to the specific conference's Info page at [conference_url]/info, so the attacker must direct or socially engineer the victim to visit that URL. Exploitation is constrained to TrueConf Server 5.5.2.10813 on Windows; no other platforms or versions are confirmed vulnerable. Limiting factors include: the requirement for a valid authenticated account (eliminating unauthenticated attackers), the necessity of victim-initiated navigation to the info URL, and the Windows-only platform scope per CPE data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N yields a medium score of 5.4, accurately capturing the key constraints: an authenticated low-privilege account is required (PR:L), and a victim must open the Conference Info page (UI:R). The Scope Change (S:C) elevates real-world impact by allowing the attacker to operate in the victim's browser context, enabling session token theft or content manipulation beyond what C:L/I:L alone suggest. EPSS at 0.17% (7th percentile) signals low automated or mass exploitation activity, consistent with the authentication prerequisite limiting opportunistic scanning. The public PoC lowers technical barriers for targeted abuse. No KEV listing means active exploitation is not confirmed by CISA. Overall, this is a genuine but constrained risk: prioritize remediation for internet-facing TrueConf deployments or environments where conference creation is open to untrusted authenticated users; internal deployments with tightly controlled conference creation permissions face lower realistic risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding any low-privilege TrueConf account with conference creation rights crafts a conference whose description contains a malicious HTML payload - for example, a script tag that exfiltrates document.cookie to an attacker-controlled endpoint. The attacker then shares or promotes the conference URL, causing an administrator or participant to open the /info page, at which point the stored payload fires silently in the victim's browser. With a public PoC available, this attack requires no specialized skill beyond a valid TrueConf account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026
Stored HTML injection (CWE-79) in TrueConf Server 5.5.2.10813 on Windows enables an authenticated attacker to embed arbitrary HTML into a conference's description field, which executes in the browser of any user who visits the Conference Info page at [conference_url]/info. The CVSS Scope Change (S:C) reflects cross-context impact - payloads escape the originating session and execute within victims' browser contexts, enabling session hijacking or phishing. A public proof-of-concept is confirmed on GitHub; however, EPSS at 0.17% (7th percentile) and absence from CISA KEV indicate no known widespread exploitation at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or specific fixed version has been identified in the available data - patch status is unconfirmed as of this analysis. Organizations should monitor trueconf.com for an official security advisory and apply any released update promptly. As a compensating control, restrict conference creation and editing privileges to a minimal set of trusted, identifiable accounts, which shrinks the attacker pool significantly - though this does not eliminate risk from compromised or malicious authenticated users. Deploying a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) header that disallows inline script execution ('script-src self') will reduce the practical exploitability of injected payloads at the browser layer, though it does not fix the underlying input sanitization defect and CSP bypass techniques exist. Web Application Firewall rules blocking common HTML tag patterns in conference description fields can provide additional detection and partial mitigation. The public PoC is documented at https://github.com/x00nullbit/CVE-References/blob/main/CVE-2025-66823/README.md and should be reviewed to assess specific payload patterns for WAF rule tuning.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TrueConf Server is an enterprise video conferencing platform deployed exclusively on Windows per CPE cpe:2.3:a:trueconf:trueconf_server:5.5.2.10813:*:*:*:*:windows:*:*. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Cross-site Scripting), specifically in the stored variant: user-supplied input in the conference description field is persisted server-side without adequate HTML encoding or sanitization, then rendered verbatim in the Conference Info page. Because the payload is stored rather than reflected, it executes for every user who opens the target URL without any per-victim delivery step beyond access to the URL. The CVSS Scope Change metric (S:C) confirms that the injected payload operates in the victim's browser security context rather than the attacker's.

DescriptionNVD
An HTML Injection vulnerability in TrueConf server 5.5.2.10813 in the conference description field allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML in the Create/Edit conference functionality. The payload will be triggered when the victim opens the Conference Info page ([conference url]/info).
