CVE-2020-13913
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn XSS issue in emfd in Ruckus Wireless Unleashed through 200.7.10.102.92 allows a remote attacker to execute JavaScript code via an unauthenticated crafted HTTP request. This affects C110, E510, H320, H510, M510, R320, R310, R500, R510 R600, R610, R710, R720, R750, T300, T301n, T301s, T310c, T310d, T310n, T310s, T610, T710, and T710s devices.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the emfd web component of Ruckus Wireless Unleashed firmware (through 200.7.10.102.92). An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code through crafted HTTP requests to the device's web management interface.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelAccess the web management interface or CLI and confirm the device is Ruckus Wireless UnleashedAffected if Device is not Ruckus Unleashed hardware
-
Check the installed firmware versionView the firmware version in the web UI (typically under Dashboard or About) or use CLI command such as 'show version'Affected if Firmware version is 200.7.10.102.92 or earlier (any version through this release)
-
Verify the emfd web component is runningAccess the device web interface on the standard HTTP/HTTPS ports (typically 80/443) and confirm the emfd service is respondingAffected if The emfd web component is accessible and responding to requests
-
Confirm web management interface accessibilityDetermine if the web management interface is exposed to unauthenticated network access (check if it listens on WAN/external interfaces or is reachable from untrusted networks)Affected if The web management interface is reachable from untrusted or external networks without authentication
A user is affected if they have a Ruckus Unleashed device running firmware version 200.7.10.102.92 or earlier with the emfd web component accessible to untrusted networks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the vendor-supplied firmware patch/update for Ruckus Unleashed. Until patched, restrict administrative interface access to trusted networks only using firewall rules or VPN access.
