What is CVE-2020-26923?

NETGEAR's wireless controllers are susceptible to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that can be executed in the context of the user’s session. The affected models include WC7500, WC7600, WC7600v2, and WC9500, all of which are impacted if running versions prior to 6.5.5.24. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information and user accounts. It is essential for users to upgrade their devices to the latest firmware to mitigate this risk.
