DNS One DHCP report cross-site scripting
| dnsone-dhcp-report-xss (16456) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
DNS One appliances are vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper filtering of HOSTNAME and CLIENTID DHCP options. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted DHCP request to the DNS One appliance, which would be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the appliance, once the DHCP report is viewed by an administrator of the appliance. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal a victim's cookie-based authentication credentials, obtain other sensitive information or launch further attacks against the affected system.
Consequences:

Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of DNS One (2.4.0-9 or later), available from the DNS One Web page. See References.
