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 the AD_Server plugin to be enabled and its log.php endpoint reachable by the attacker; the injection itself needs no authentication (PR:N). The payload only executes when an administrator subsequently views the Ad Types report (UI:P/UI:R) - this admin-view requirement is the primary limiting factor, meaning the attack is not fully automatic and depends on a privileged user visiting the affected report. The rendering sink is jQuery .html() in the admin report, so the flaw is only exploitable in AVideo builds at or before commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 that ship the vulnerable AD_Server code path. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 reflects a network vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and only passive/required user interaction (UI:P) - an administrator merely viewing the ad report triggers execution. The high vulnerable-system and subsequent-system impact metrics (VC:H/VI:H/SC:H/SI:H) capture that the executing JavaScript runs with the admin's authority, potentially compromising the management interface. Real-world priority is tempered by the interaction requirement: an admin must open the Ad Types report for the payload to fire, and exploitation depends on the AD_Server plugin being enabled and reachable. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so this is not confirmed as widely or actively exploited; the primary corroboration is the vendor GHSA and the VulnCheck advisory. Overall a credible high-severity issue for exposed AVideo instances running the AD_Server plugin, but not evidence of mass exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to the AD_Server plugin's log.php with a 'label' parameter containing a malicious script payload, which AVideo stores without escaping. When an administrator later opens the Ad Types report, jQuery .html() renders the payload and executes the attacker's JavaScript in the admin's authenticated session, allowing session/cookie theft or actions performed as the administrator. No public POC is identified, but the low-complexity network vector makes the injection step trivial. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in WWBN AVideo's AD_Server plugin lets an unauthenticated attacker persist malicious HTML via the unescaped 'label' parameter of the log.php endpoint, which later executes as arbitrary JavaScript when an administrator opens the Ad Types report. Because the admin report renders the stored value with jQuery .html() without sanitization, exploitation yields code execution in a privileged administrator's browser session, enabling account/session takeover of the affected AVideo installation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a coordinated GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-h68w-3r38-wmm8) documents the flaw.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available (referenced via the vendor GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-h68w-3r38-wmm8); released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data - update AVideo to the latest commit/release beyond c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 that follows the advisory. As compensating controls until patched, disable the AD_Server plugin if it is not required (removes both the injection endpoint and the vulnerable report, at the cost of ad-serving functionality), or restrict network access to the log.php endpoint via web-server/WAF rules that block or sanitize HTML in the 'label' parameter (may break legitimate logging if the parameter carries formatting). Server-side output encoding and replacing jQuery .html() with .text() in the Ad Types report is the durable fix; consult https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/avideo-ad-server-stored-xss-via-log-php-label-parameter for details.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo is an open-source PHP video streaming/CMS platform (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo). The root cause is CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input during web page generation): the AD_Server plugin's log.php accepts a 'label' parameter and writes it to storage without output/input encoding. The value is subsequently reflected into the administrator's Ad Types report and inserted into the DOM via jQuery's .html() method, which parses and executes any HTML/script content rather than treating it as inert text. This is a classic persistent (stored) XSS where the injection point (unauthenticated logging endpoint) and the execution sink (authenticated admin report) are decoupled, so the attacker never needs credentials to plant the payload.

DescriptionCVE.org
AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the AD_Server plugin's log.php endpoint that fails to escape the label parameter before storage. An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious HTML through the label parameter, which is later rendered unsanitized in the admin Ad Types report using jQuery .html(), allowing execution of arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser session.

Executive ViewAI
WWBN AVideo installations are at critical risk of complete administrative account compromise through an unauthenticated attack vector in the AD_Server plugin. Attackers can inject malicious code that executes when administrators access reports, enabling full takeover of the affected video platform. No patch is currently available, requiring immediate interim protection.
Disable the AD_Server plugin if not operationally critical; restrict log.php access via firewall/web server ACLs to authorized administrative networks only; implement input validation to block HTML and script payloads in the 'label' parameter; enable logging and monitoring of administrator account activity for anomalous behavior; deploy Web Application Firewall rules to filter suspicious log.php requests; audit AVideo administrative accounts and session activity. All interim controls are temporary-vendor patch application is mandatory when released.
