Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Linksys WRT160N

CVE-2008-6280

Summary

The Linksys WRT160N router is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the apply.cgi component. This flaw permits remote attackers to exploit the action parameter within the DHCP_Static operation. By doing so, they can inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML into the router's web interface, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and security breaches for users accessing the affected device. It is crucial for administrators to take preventative measures against this type of vulnerability to protect their network environment.
