# CVE-2026-50182: AVideo Has Unauthenticated Reflected XSS via $\_GET\['search'\] in YouTubeAPI Gallery Pagination

- Also known as: GHSA-HGJH-6WJ8-GCGF
- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-07-15 · Updated: 2026-07-17

## Affected

- WWBN AVideo: through 29.0
- WWBN/AVideo (Packagist): through 29.0

## Description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. Versions prior to 29.0 contain an unauthenticated Reflected XSS vulnerability through AVideo YouTubeAPI Gallery Pagination. The $_GET['search'] query parameter is concatenated directly into the href attribute of two pagination links in plugin/YouTubeAPI/gallerySection.php (lines 67 and 74) with no htmlspecialchars, no urlencode, and no allow-list check. An injected <script> element is then extracted by the AVideo Layout plugin and concatenated into a single trailing inline script block at the bottom of the page, where the browser executes it. Any unauthenticated attacker can lure a victim into following a crafted URL to execute arbitrary JavaScript under the AVideo origin, which can read non-HttpOnly cookies and issue authenticated AJAX requests as the victim, and when the victim is an administrator, it can perform any cookie-authenticated admin action (create user, promote to admin, change configuration, install plugin), escalating a single click into full administrative takeover. This issue has been patched by this commit: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/f50fc033b7adb36f1ffd6640e7826468bdafdec3.
