CVE-2026-50182: WWBN AVideo: Unauthenticated Reflected XSS via $_GET['search'] in AVideo YouTubeAPI Gallery Pagination
A reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the AVideo YouTubeAPI plugin allows any unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim’s browser session when the victim follows a crafted URL. 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.
