What is CVE-2026-34396?

CVE-2026-34396 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo, published on 31 Mar 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, the AVideo admin panel renders plugin configuration values in HTML forms without applying htmlspecialchars() or any other output encoding. The jsonToFormElements() function in admin/functions.php directly interpolates user-controlled values into textarea contents, option elements, and input attributes. An attacker who can set a plugin configuration value (either as a compromised admin or by chaining with CSRF on admin/save.json.php) can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes whenever any administrator visits the plugin configuration page. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Weakness: CWE-79
