## What is CVE-2026-47694?

CVE-2026-47694 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Wwbn Avideo, published on 29 May 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In 29.0 and earlier, AVideo stores category descriptions from user input and later renders category_description as raw HTML in the Gallery view. A user who can create or edit categories can store JavaScript in a category description, which executes when another user views the affected Gallery/category page. This is a stored XSS in the category description field, separate from previously fixed XSS issues in video titles or comments.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
