What is CVE-2017-8839?

An XSS vulnerability has been discovered in Peplink Balance devices, specifically affecting models 305, 380, 580, 710, 1350, and 2500. The issue arises from improper handling of the 'orig_url' parameter within the guest/preview.cgi script, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the user's session. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure or interaction with the affected system. Users are advised to update their firmware to version fw-b305hw2_380hw6_580hw2_710hw3_1350hw2_2500-7.0.1-build2093 or later to mitigate potential risks.
