Cisco Wireless Residential Gateway Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of the Cisco EPC3928 Wireless Residential Gateway could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web interface of the affected system.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of user-supplied value and a lack of encoding of user-supplied data. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to click on a malicious link.
