CVE-2026-100630 WWBN CVE debrief
AVideo before 29.1.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the video trailer1 field. Attackers with video upload permission can store HTML entity-encoded payloads that bypass validation and are decoded by the browser to break out of the JavaScript string, executing arbitrary code in any visitor's session. This vulnerability allows for potential unauthorized actions and data compromise, emphasizing the need for defenders to assess exposure and prioritize updates to prevent exploitation.
