What is CVE-2020-35805?

Certain NETGEAR devices are susceptible to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that are stored on the device and executed whenever the affected page is accessed. Consequently, users may unknowingly run dangerous scripts, leading to potential data compromise or unauthorized actions within their network. It is crucial for users to update their devices to the latest firmware versions to mitigate this security risk effectively.
