AVideo through 29.0 Stored Cross-Site Scripting via User-Agent Header
Get instant alerts when new vulnerabilities affect AVideo - before attackers find them.
AVideo through 29.0 (current revision e01e41ecc) contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability. The unauthenticated view-counter endpoint objects/videoAddViewCount.json.php reaches VideoStatistic::save(), which writes the caller's User-Agent (via getUserAgentInfo(), which returns unrecognized agent strings verbatim) directly into the `app` column of the videos_statistics table without invoking the sanitizing setter setApp(); normalizeApp() only truncates the value to 45 characters. The video owner's and administrator's statistics page (view/videoViewsInfo.php) renders this field in a DataTables 1.12.1 column with an unescaped renderer, and DataTables assigns cell content using innerHTML, so attacker-supplied HTML is parsed and executed in the privileged user's authenticated session when the statistics page is viewed. No patched version was available at the time of the advisory.
No remediation guidance has been written for this CVE yet. What the record does show:
