Description: A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists in the Captive Portal function, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by leveraging an unspecified configuration. This could allow an attacker to inject arbitrary javascript or HTML when the Captive Portal page is viewed by clients, potentially leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
