What is CVE-2017-18831?

Certain NETGEAR switches, specifically the M4300 and M4200 series, are vulnerable to a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the affected devices, which can execute when unsuspecting users access the compromised area. This can lead to unauthorized actions conducted on behalf of the user, compromising sensitive data and overall device integrity. Users are urged to apply the necessary firmware updates to versions 12.0.2.15 or later to mitigate this risk. More information can be found in NETGEAR's security advisory.
