What is CVE-2022-41435?

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in OpenWRT’s LuCI interface, specifically within the component responsible for handling SSH keys. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of public key comments, allowing malicious actors to inject and execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML within a user’s session. If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to a range of security risks, including data theft and session hijacking, as it bypasses standard user input validation mechanisms.
