Reflected script execution via unescaped form action
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
Cross-site scripting in PiHome 1.77 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim's browser through a crafted index.php URL. index.php inserts the unescaped PHP_SELF request path into the login form action attribute, turning attacker-controlled markup into executable HTML. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted path in a PiHome session and confines execution to that browser's PiHome origin.
