Technical details

A stored DOM Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the YPTSocket plugin of WWBN AVideo due to improper validation of WebSocket connection parameters. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain a signed WebSocket token via 'getWebSocket.json.php' and connect to the WebSocket server with malicious 'webSocketSelfURI' and 'page_title' query parameters. These values are persisted in an in-memory SQLite table and broadcast to all connected clients. On the client side, 'script.js' interpolates the 'page_title' into an HTML template literal and passes it to the jQuery '.append()' sink without sanitization. If an administrator is viewing a page with the YPTSocket debug panel enabled, the injected script executes in their authenticated context, enabling session hijacking and full site takeover. This issue is patched in version 29.0.
