CVE-2026-65986

CVAT has stored XSS via annotation guide assets

Published Aug 4, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
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.
