Administrator session theft via stored language injection
Published Jan 14, 2025 · Updated Jan 14, 2025
Persistent XSS in Wavlink AC3000 M33A8.V5030.210505 allows remote attackers to steal administrator session cookies through login.cgi. The set_lang_CountryCode function stores the unencoded langue POST value in the Language NVRAM item, which login pages embed directly in script output. Network access is sufficient to plant the value without authentication, but an administrator must load an affected page to execute it; the same injection can interrupt login service.
