DescriptionCVE.org

Edimax GS-5008PL firmware version 1.00.54 and prior contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the system_name_set.cgi script that allows attackers to inject arbitrary script code by manipulating the sysName parameter. Attackers can send a crafted POST request with malicious script payload that executes when management pages including system_data.js are viewed by administrators.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in Edimax GS-5008PL firmware version 1.00.54 and earlier allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts through the sysName parameter in system_name_set.cgi, which execute when administrators access management pages. An attacker with login credentials can craft a POST request to persistently inject arbitrary JavaScript that compromises administrative sessions and enables unauthorized actions within the device management interface.
