It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-40041 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WS318n-21. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40041/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40041/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40041","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40041/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40041","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4frh-rw8g-vq9h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Huawei home router","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated attacker can inject special characters into network settings to cause information disclosure via XSS.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"huawei","cpe":[{"product":"ws318n-21_firmware","vendor":"huawei"}],"cvss":{"score":4.2,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"There is a Cross-Site Scripting(XSS) vulnerability in HUAWEI WS318n product when processing network settings.
