CVE-2026-65986

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

CVAT is an open source interactive video and image annotation tool for computer vision. Versions 2.5.0 through 2.66.0 contain a XSS vulnerability that can be accessed through annotation guide assets. When CVAT serves the files attached to an annotation guide, it labels them with a media type ( Content-Type ) that the attacker can influence, so instead of treating an uploaded file as plain data, the victim's browser can be told to treat it as an HTML page and run any JavaScript inside it. This issue has been fixed in version 2.67.0.

Cuando CVAT sirve los archivos adjuntos a una guía de anotación, los etiqueta con un tipo de medio ( Content-Type ) que el atacante puede influir, de modo que en lugar de tratar un archivo subido como datos planos, se le puede indicar al navegador de la víctima que lo trate como una página HTML y ejecute cualquier JavaScript dentro de ella. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 2.67.0."
