Until a fix is released, administrators should exercise caution when accessing management pages and avoid interacting with untrusted input. Monitoring vendor communications for updates is recommended.
Description
Edimax GS-5008PL firmware version 1.00.54 and prior contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the system_name_set.cgi script that allows attackers to inject arbitrary script code by manipulating the sysName parameter. Attackers can send a crafted POST request with malicious script payload that executes when management pages including system_data.js are viewed by administrators.
