What is CVE-2018-6212?

The D-Link DIR-620 routers containing specific custom firmware versions are susceptible to reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. This issue arises due to inadequate sanitization of user input, particularly in the 'Search' field, which allows for the execution of harmful scripts via specially crafted requests. The vulnerability is exacerbated by improper handling of the XMLHttpRequest object, potentially allowing attackers to manipulate web sessions or deliver unwanted content to users.
