Netgear RT314/RT311 Gateway Router Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

The Netgear RT314/RT311 Gateway Router models allow Cable/DSL users to share a connection. These products provide a web-based administrative interface.

The affected products run a ZyXel-RomPager web server to provide easy web-based configuration.

The web interface for the router is prone to cross-site scripting attacks. This may be exploited by an attacker who knows the internal IP address of the router. Arbitrary script code may be included in a malicious link, which is executed in the browser of the victim, in the context of the router.

It is possible that an attacker may capitalize on this opportunity to gain unauthorized administrative access to the router. This may occur if the attacker can successfully steal cookie-based authentication credentials from a user who has access to the administrative interface.

It should be noted that there is a distinct possibility that any other router products running the ZyXel-RomPager web server (versions 3.02 or earlier) may also be prone to this issue.

This issue reportedly does not affect the Netgear RP114 Cable/DSL Web Safe Router.
