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 | Requires an authenticated AVideo administrator account that holds the canAdminUserGroups permission to write the malicious group_name (PR:H). Payload execution is not automatic - it depends on a second administrator subsequently browsing the user manager interface where the stored value is rendered (UI:P). Exploitation is therefore limited to environments with multiple admins and requires trust already granted to the injecting account; it is not remotely reachable by an unauthenticated or low-privileged user. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 9.2 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N) appears overstated for what is a privileged-to-privileged stored XSS. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator (PR:H) who already holds the canAdminUserGroups permission to plant the payload, and it fires only when another administrator interacts with the user manager (UI:P). The high VC/VI and scope-change (SC:H/SI:H) values assume the victim admin's session can be fully hijacked to pivot to broader system compromise, which is plausible but conditional. There is no EPSS-notable signal provided, no KEV listing, and no known POC - real-world risk is moderate and gated behind trusted-admin access, so this is best treated as a defense-in-depth/insider or account-compromise concern rather than an internet-facing critical. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious or compromised administrator with the canAdminUserGroups permission creates or edits a user group, setting the group name to a string containing a JavaScript payload. When a higher-privileged administrator later opens the user manager to review groups, the script runs in their session, allowing the attacker to perform actions as that admin (e.g., create accounts, exfiltrate session data, or escalate privileges via same-origin requests). No public POC is identified at this time. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in WWBN AVideo (open-source video CMS) allows an administrator holding the canAdminUserGroups permission to persist malicious HTML/JavaScript through UserGroups::setGroup_name(), which then executes in the browser of any other administrator who opens the user manager interface. Affects all builds through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1. Reported by VulnCheck; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory (GHSA-qm3h-2jrx-xmg6); no exact fixed release version is stated in the input, so upgrade to the latest AVideo build past commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 and verify against the advisory. As compensating controls until patched: tightly restrict who holds the canAdminUserGroups permission (the only role able to inject), since limiting it directly removes the attack surface; add server-side output encoding/HTML sanitization of group_name where it is rendered in the user manager; and deploy a restrictive Content-Security-Policy that disallows inline script execution to blunt payload execution in admin browsers (trade-off: a strict CSP may break existing inline admin-UI scripts and require testing). Review existing user-group names for previously injected markup before considering the issue closed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AVideo is a self-hosted PHP video-streaming platform (YouTube/Vimeo-style). The root cause is CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input during web page generation): the setGroup_name() setter on the UserGroups model stores the group_name field verbatim without HTML-encoding or sanitization. Because the stored value is later rendered into the administrative user-manager page without output encoding, injected markup is parsed as active content. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo, matched by the vendor security advisory GHSA-qm3h-2jrx-xmg6.

DescriptionCVE.org
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in UserGroups::setGroup_name() that fails to sanitize group_name input. Administrators with canAdminUserGroups permission can inject malicious HTML and JavaScript that executes in the browser when other administrators access the user manager interface.
Technical POC Analysis
Stored cross-site scripting, CWE-79.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
WWBN AVideo, an open-source video content management platform, contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in user group administration that allows administrators with group management permissions to inject malicious code executed in the browsers of other administrators. This enables unauthorized modification of platform configuration and administrative activities, compromising the integrity of video platform governance for affected organizations.
Restrict the canAdminUserGroups permission to administrators with demonstrated operational necessity, with monthly audit review. Implement and enforce Content Security Policy headers prohibiting inline script execution (script-src 'self'). Enable comprehensive audit logging for all user group modifications and administrator panel access attempts. Establish a weekly manual review process for user group configurations to detect suspicious entries. Segregate lower-privilege administrator accounts from direct access to user management functions where possible. Monitor WWBN AVideo's GitHub repository, security advisories, and VulnCheck threat feeds for notification of a patched commit/release.
