CVE-2026-34739 WWBN CVE debrief
AVideo User_Location plugin reflected XSS vulnerability CVE-2026-34739 allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript via a crafted URL. This vulnerability affects AVideo versions 26.0 and prior. The User_Location plugin's testIP.php page reflects the ip request parameter directly into an HTML input element without applying htmlspecialchars() or any other output encoding. Although the page is restricted to admin users, AVideo's SameSite=None cookie configuration allows cross-origin exploitation, meaning an attacker can lure an admin to a malicious link that executes JavaScript in their authenticated session.
