Exploitation Conditions

The YPTSocket plugin must be installed and enabled on the AVideo instance - this is a non-default optional plugin, not part of the core AVideo installation, which limits the exposed population. Beyond that single configuration prerequisite, no other conditions limit exploitation: the WebSocket endpoint is accessible without authentication (PR:N), requires no crafted timing or race conditions (AC:L), and does not require the victim to take any action beyond already having the AVideo application open in their browser with an active WebSocket connection. Exploitation is limited to users actively connected to the WebSocket session at the time the crafted message is injected. The attacker must be able to reach the AVideo server's WebSocket port over the network.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N reflects a realistic picture: network-reachable, no prerequisites, no victim click required, but impact bounded to the subsequent (victim browser) system with low confidentiality and integrity ratings. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, making opportunistic mass exploitation less likely than for KEV-listed issues. The practical risk is session hijacking, credential theft via injected forms, or forced actions on behalf of authenticated users - meaningful for any deployment where AVideo handles sensitive content or authenticated sessions. The non-default plugin requirement (YPTSocket must be explicitly enabled) materially reduces the exposed population relative to the raw CVSS score suggests, so operators should audit whether YPTSocket is active before treating this as a universal emergency. No EPSS score was provided, and no conflicting data signals were detected.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker connects to AVideo's WebSocket endpoint exposed by the YPTSocket plugin and sends a crafted message specifying avideoConfirmHTML (or another global function that writes to innerHTML) as the callback name, with a malicious HTML payload containing a JavaScript keylogger as the data. Any user whose browser is currently connected to the same WebSocket session receives and processes the message, executing the injected script within AVideo's origin and exfiltrating session cookies or credentials to the attacker's server. No public exploit code has been identified, but the mechanism is straightforward and requires only a WebSocket client.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 05, 2026

Unauthenticated cross-site scripting in AVideo's YPTSocket plugin allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of connected users by sending crafted WebSocket messages. The attack leverages the plugin's WebSocket callback dispatch mechanism, which resolves attacker-controlled callback names to global JavaScript functions (e.g., avideoConfirmHTML) that assign untrusted message data directly to innerHTML without sanitization. Because the exploit path runs entirely through the WebSocket layer, no authentication and no secondary victim interaction beyond holding an active session are required, enabling persistent script injection into any connected user's origin context.

RemediationAI

Consult the vendor's security advisory at https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-xpx7-h2x7-59qq for the patched release version, as no specific fix version number was provided in the available intelligence data - patch availability is per vendor advisory but the exact version is not independently confirmed from this dataset. As an immediate compensating control, disable or uninstall the YPTSocket plugin if real-time WebSocket functionality is not operationally required; this eliminates the vulnerable code path entirely with no impact on core AVideo functionality. If YPTSocket must remain active, restrict WebSocket endpoint access to trusted network segments or authenticated sessions at the reverse-proxy or firewall layer to limit who can inject messages. Additionally, enforce a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) header that blocks inline script execution, which would mitigate the innerHTML-based script injection even if a crafted message is received.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AVideo (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hosted video platform by WWBN. The YPTSocket plugin extends AVideo with WebSocket-based real-time communication. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), manifesting as a DOM-based XSS sink: the WebSocket message dispatcher resolves a callback name field from attacker-controlled message data to a reference on the global JavaScript window object, then passes attacker-supplied payload data to that function, which in turn writes it to the DOM via innerHTML. Because innerHTML parses HTML including <script> tags and event-handler attributes, arbitrary JavaScript executes in the victim's origin. The vulnerability is conditional on the YPTSocket plugin being installed and enabled, as it is not part of AVideo's core distribution.

DescriptionCVE.org

AVideo with YPTSocket plugin enabled contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in other users' browsers via the websocket callback mechanism. Attackers can send crafted socket messages with callback names resolving to global functions like avideoConfirmHTML that accept untrusted data and assign it to innerHTML, achieving script execution in the victim's origin without authentication or user interaction.
