CVE-2024-9792Network attack vector

Script execution via PortMappingDescription output

Published Oct 10, 2024 · Updated Oct 10, 2024

Cross-site scripting in the D-Link DSL-2750U R5B017 Port Forwarding page allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser. Processing the PortMappingDescription argument fails to neutralize script-capable input before the page renders it. Access to the management interface requires authentication, and a victim must interact with the crafted content; successful exploitation can modify data available to that browser session.
