Stored script execution via unescaped VPN client input
Published Nov 6, 2025 · Updated Nov 6, 2025
Stored XSS in Advantech WebAccess/VPN before 1.1.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts in a victim's browser. StandaloneVpnClientsController.addStandaloneVpnClientAction() stores user-supplied input without sufficient validation or output escaping. Low-privileged access is required to persist the payload, and a victim must view the affected interface; execution is limited to the browser context.
