AI-suggested
Administrators should immediately upgrade affected OpenWrt devices to LuCI version 26.072.65753~068150b or later, where the vulnerability is patched. If upgrading is not immediately possible, network administrators should restrict access to the LuCI interface to trusted networks only and disable wireless scanning features that trigger the vulnerable code path. Implement network segmentation to isolate management interfaces from untrusted wireless networks. Users should be educated to avoid opening the wireless scan modal in untrusted environments. Additionally, monitoring for unusual SSIDs and logging access to the LuCI interface can help detect potential exploitation attempts. Applying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers on the LuCI interface could provide an additional layer of defense against XSS exploitation. Vendors and integrators should review their firmware builds to ensure the patched LuCI version is included in future releases.
Description
LuCI is the OpenWrt Configuration Interface. Versions prior to both 24.10.5 and 25.12.0, contain a stored XSS vulnerability in the wireless scan modal, where SSID values from scan results are rendered as raw HTML without any sanitization. The wireless.js file in the luci-mod-network package passes SSIDs via a template literal to dom.append(), which processes them through innerHTML, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious SSID containing arbitrary HTML/JavaScript. Exploitation requires the user to actively open the wireless scan modal (e.g., to connect to a Wi-Fi access point or survey nearby channels), and only affects OpenWrt versions newer than 23.05/22.03 up to the patched releases (24.10.6 and 25.12.1). The issue has been fixed in version LuCI 26.072.65753~068150b.
