Original Release date: 06 Oct 2014 | Last revised: 06 Oct 2014

Overview

NetCommWireless NB604N ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Description

CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

NetCommWireless NB604N ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Routers running software version GAN5.CZ56T-B-NC.AU-R4B010.EN contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A remote attacker can perform a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an authenticated user through the web interface by manipulating single quotes in the WPA key variable (wlWpaPsk). The Wireless -> Security page (wlsecurity.html) contains an unsanitized parameter wlWpaPsk which, when submitted, is stored as the Javascript variable wpaPskKey.

Impact

A remote attacker can perform a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against an authenticated user through the web interface allowing them to run scripts with the permission of the authenticated user.
