CVE-2019-12513: Stored XSS via DHCP Discover Request Hostname

First published: Mon Feb 24 2020(Updated: )

When the malicious DHCP request is received, the device will generate a log entry containing the malicious hostname. This log entry may then be viewed at Advanced settings->Administration->Logs to trigger the exploit. Although this value is inserted into a textarea tag, converted to all-caps, and limited in length, attacks are still possible.
