CVSS v3.1
6.1
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
NETGEAR Nighthawk X10-R900 versions prior to 1.0.4.24
Description:
The issue allows an attacker to execute stored XSS attacks against the device by sending a DHCP discover request with a malicious
hostname field. When the malicious request is received, the device generates a log entry containing the malicious hostname, which can be viewed at Advanced settings->Administration->Logs, triggering the exploit. The malicious value is inserted into a textarea tag, converted to all-caps, and limited in length, but attacks are still possible.Recommendations:
For versions prior to 1.0.4.24, update to version 1.0.4.24 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the log entries at Advanced settings->Administration->Logs to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid viewing log entries that may contain malicious hostnames until the issue is resolved.
