WWBN AVideo Reflected XSS via Referer Header Comment Breakout
WWBN AVideo through commit c3edcc274c389816d434acadac07ee78eaf330c1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the showAlertMessage() function that inserts the raw Referer header into a JavaScript comment without encoding. Attackers can craft a Referer header containing */ to close the comment and inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the site origin for visitors arriving from the attacker-controlled page.
