Summary
WWBN AVideo 26.0 through 29.3.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in comment rendering. markDownToHTML() preserves event-handler attributes in leading HTML blocks, so a comment that starts with an img tag carrying an onerror handler bypasses the inline sanitizer.
