Description
AVideo with YPTSocket plugin enabled contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in other users' browsers via the websocket callback mechanism. Attackers can send crafted socket messages with callback names resolving to global functions like avideoConfirmHTML that accept untrusted data and assign it to innerHTML, achieving script execution in the victim's origin without authentication or user interaction.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-86188 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-86188 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-86188. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
