An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-1971 exists.\n\nAffected product: Edimax BR-6288ACL. 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-2026-1971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-1971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1971/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-1971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3vf6-mf65-w8r8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"end_of_life","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Edimax wireless router","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary scripts via the manualssid argument in the Edimax BR-6288ACL router's WISP configuration page.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[{"product":"br-6288acl_firmware","vendor":"edimax"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been found in Edimax BR-6288ACL up to 1.12.
