CRITICALSeverity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L
Unauthenticated network delivery (PR:N/AV:N) with low-complexity injection; UI:R because an admin must view the debug panel; S:C as script runs in the higher-privileged admin origin giving C:H/I:H.
Primary rating from Vendor (GitHub_M).

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Versions prior to 29.0 contain a stored DOM Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the YPTSocket plugin. Any unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated origin of every administrator currently viewing a page that renders the YPTSocket online-users debug panel. plugin/YPTSocket/getWebSocket.json.php issues a signed WebSocket token to any anonymous caller, and MessageSQLiteV2::onOpen at plugin/YPTSocket/MessageSQLiteV2.php lines 91 and 110 reads the attacker-controlled webSocketSelfURI and page_title query parameters from the WebSocket connection URL with no validation. Both values persist into the in-memory SQLite connections table and broadcast inside the users_id_online array sent to every connected client; on the client, plugin/YPTSocket/script.js::updateSocketUserCard interpolates the broadcast page_title into an HTML template literal that is passed to jQuery $.append(html), which parses attacker bytes into live DOM nodes including <img> with inline event handlers. Successful attackers can can read non-HttpOnly cookies and the CSRF token rendered into the admin dashboard, issue authenticated requests to any admin-only endpoint, exfiltrate the admin dashboard DOM, and chain into any admin-context mutation. When the victim is an AVideo administrator, the attacker turns a single anonymous WebSocket connection into full administrative takeover via the admin's own session. This issue has been patched by https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/8be71e53ccbe9b84b30870db386fb4d2b11e1c16.
AnalysisAI
Stored DOM cross-site scripting in WWBN AVideo's YPTSocket plugin (all versions prior to 29.0) lets any unauthenticated remote attacker run arbitrary JavaScript in the browser session of any administrator viewing the YPTSocket online-users debug panel. Because the malicious WebSocket metadata is broadcast to every connected client and rendered without escaping, a single anonymous WebSocket connection can be escalated into full administrative account takeover via the admin's own session and CSRF token. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target AVideo installation has the YPTSocket plugin enabled (the token endpoint only checks AVideoPlugin::isEnabledByName('YPTSocket')) and that a victim administrator is actively viewing a page that renders the YPTSocket online-users debug panel - this rendering of the online-users card via updateSocketUserCard is the trigger. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are largely aligned toward high real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An anonymous attacker requests a WebSocket token from getWebSocket.json.php, then opens a WebSocket connection with a page_title query parameter containing an <img onerror=...> payload. When an administrator has the YPTSocket online-users debug panel open, the broadcast metadata renders the payload in the admin's authenticated origin, letting the attacker steal the admin's CSRF token and cookies and issue admin-only requests. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade AVideo to version 29.0 or later, which includes the fix from commit 8be71e53ccbe9b84b30870db386fb4d2b11e1c16; that commit HTML-escapes page_title via htmlspecialchars(..., ENT_QUOTES | ENT_HTML5, 'UTF-8') and restricts webSocketSelfURI to validated http/https URIs (rejecting javascript: injection). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all deployed WWBN AVideo instances and identify YPTSocket plugin versions in production; immediately restrict network access to the debug panel to trusted administrative IP addresses via firewall rules and consider disabling the plugin if not operationally required. …
