Coturn, a free open-source implementation of TURN and STUN Server, has a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its web-admin HTTPS interface. An attacker can create a TURN allocation with a crafted USERNAME value to inject HTML/JavaScript that executes when an authenticated web-admin user views the TURN session list. This issue may be exploitable without TURN credentials in configurations using anonymous TURN access. In authenticated deployments, valid TURN credentials or control over a provisioned username are required for exploitation. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 4.11.0.
