Browser script execution via unsanitized ReturnTo parameter
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Reflected XSS in Radware Alteon vADC 34.5.4.0 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser via a crafted link. The /protected/login route places the unsanitized ReturnTo parameter into a Microsoft SAML login redirect, causing the supplied script to be reflected and executed. Exploitation requires a victim to follow the link; script execution can expose session cookies or perform actions in the victim's browser context.
