• Defenders should prioritize remediation of vulnerable installations to prevent potential XSS attacks

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the confirmLivePassword.php file of WWBN AVideo, where REQUEST_URI is copied into a form action attribute without encoding. This allows attackers to craft malicious URLs with quote characters to break out of the action attribute and inject event handlers that execute in the victim's browser within the site origin. Defenders should prioritize verifying the presence of this vulnerability in their inventory of WWBN AVideo installations and assess the exposure of these installations to cross-site scripting attacks.
