CVE-2026-47694
CWE-79Published: May 29, 2026· Updated: Jun 1, 2026
Official Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In 29.0 and earlier, AVideo stores category descriptions from user input and later renders category_description as raw HTML in the Gallery view. A user who can create or edit categories can store JavaScript in a category description, which executes when another user views the affected Gallery/category page. This is a stored XSS in the category description field, separate from previously fixed XSS issues in video titles or comments.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-47694 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
