CVE-2026-71274: OpenBK7231T Stored XSS via Unsanitized MQTT-Set Channel Labels

Published Aug 5, 2026
·
Updated

OpenBK7231T's CHANNELSetLabel() (src/cmnds/cmdchannels.c) stores channel labels received via the MQTT SetChannelLabel command using strdup() with no HTML sanitization. CHANNELGetLabel() returns these labels unsanitized, and they are rendered via hprintf255() at 15+ locations in src/httpserver/httpfns.c with no HTML encoding. An attacker with MQTT broker access (commonly unauthenticated in real deployments) can set a channel label containing a <script> payload that executes when any user views the device's web panel.
