Status: ModifiedMedium (4.8)—
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in multiple FXC Inc. network devices (Managed Ethernet switch FXC5210/5218/5224 firmware prior to version Ver1.00.22, Managed Ethernet switch FXC5426F firmware prior to version Ver1.00.06, Managed Ethernet switch FXC5428 firmware prior to version Ver1.00.07, Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch FXC5210PE/5218PE/5224PE firmware prior to version Ver1.00.14, and Wireless LAN router AE1021/AE1021PE firmware all versions) allows attacker with administrator rights to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the administrative page.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Base score: 4.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.52%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 42
- Score date: 10/3/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
