IPFire 2.21 Core Update 127 contains multiple reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the fwhosts.cgi script that allow attackers to inject malicious scripts through multiple parameters including HOSTNAME, IP, SUBNET, NETREMARK, HOSTREMARK, newhost, grp_name, remark, SRV_NAME, SRV_PORT, SRVGRP_NAME, SRVGRP_REMARK, and updatesrvgrp. Attackers can submit POST requests with script payloads in these parameters to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of authenticated users' browsers.
