Stored script execution via unvalidated VPN username
Published Jan 17, 2024 · Updated Jun 2, 2025
Stored XSS in Skyworth Digital CM5100 4.1.1.24 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject script through its web interface. The L2TP/PPTP Username handler insufficiently validates crafted input before persisting it for later rendering, causing a browser to execute the stored script. Exploitation requires high-privilege web access and a user to view the affected page, enabling script execution in that user's browser without interrupting the device.
