CVE-2021-1153Network attack vector

Authenticated browser script execution via stored input

Published Jan 13, 2021 · Updated Nov 12, 2024

Stored XSS in Cisco RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W router management interfaces allows remote authenticated users to run script code. The web interface stores values from crafted HTTP requests without sufficient validation and later renders them as active browser content. Valid administrator credentials and a user who views the poisoned interface are required; execution is confined to that interface's browser context.
