AVideo Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Markdown `javascript:` URI Bypasses ParsedownSafeWithLinks Sanitization
Description
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the fix for CVE-2026-27568 (GHSA-rcqw-6466-3mv7) introduced a custom ParsedownSafeWithLinks class that sanitizes raw HTML ` and tags in comments, but explicitly disables Parsedown's safeMode. This creates a bypass: markdown link syntax text) is processed by Parsedown's inlineLink() method, which does not go through the custom sanitizeATag() sanitization (that only handles raw HTML tags). With safeMode disabled, Parsedown's built-in javascript: URI filtering (sanitiseElement()/filterUnsafeUrlInAttribute()`) is also inactive. An attacker can inject stored XSS via comment markdown links. Commit 3ae02fa240939dbefc5949d64f05790fd25d728d contains a patch.
