Netgear warned customers to update their devices to the latest available firmware, which patches stored cross-site scripting (XSS) and authentication bypass vulnerabilities in several WiFi 6 router models.

The stored XSS security flaw (fixed in firmware version 1.0.0.72 and tracked as PSV-2023-0122) impacts the XR1000 Nighthawk gaming router.

While the company didn’t disclose any details regarding this bug, successful attacks exploiting such weaknesses can let threat actors hijack user sessions, redirect users to malicious sites or display fake login forms, and steal restricted information.
