What is CVE-2021-45668?

Certain NETGEAR routers and extenders are susceptible to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that can be executed when a user interacts with the affected device's web interface.

Users of affected NETGEAR models are strongly advised to update their firmware to mitigate this risk.
