Stored XSS via unsanitized VLAN View Name
Published Jan 9, 2024 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Stored XSS in Infoblox NIOS 8.5.2-409296 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts in a victim's Grid Manager session. Grid Manager stores an unsanitized payload from the VLAN View Name field and later embeds it in the VLAN Range page, where the visitor's browser executes it. Exploitation requires VLAN-view write permission and a second user to open the malicious range page; the script can alter displayed content or steal session cookies.
