CVE-2026-108931 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-12

The Netcore NR268 router is used to manage networks, including DHCP client assignments and DNS settings. An attacker on the local network can inject malicious code via a DHCP hostname, which then executes in the administrator's browser when viewing the DHCP status page, potentially allowing theft of admin credentials and session hijacking.

Technologies: Netcore NR268. Vendors: Netcore.

Technical details

The dhcp_dynamicip_show.cgi endpoint fails to properly sanitize DHCP hostnames when serializing them into pseudo-JSON, and the web UI parses the response with eval('('+data+')'), enabling stored XSS. An unauthenticated LAN client can request a DHCP lease with a malicious hostname (e.g., <svg/onload=alert(1)>), which is persisted unsanitized and executed in the administrator's browser context when the DHCP status page is opened.
