Managed-device code execution via stored firmware-field XSS
Published May 22, 2023 · Updated Jan 16, 2025
Stored XSS in the main page of Teltonika Networks Remote Management System before 4.10.0 allows remote attackers to execute code on managed devices. The DEVICE FIRMWARE view renders the device-supplied fw_version value from a crafted JSON message as an HTML object without neutralizing active content. Exploitation requires a registered device's MAC address and serial number plus an administrator hovering over the injected object; the resulting account-context script execution can reach managed devices.
