CVE-2023-39429
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 · uneditedCross-site scripting vulnerability in FURUNO SYSTEMS wireless LAN access point devices allows an authenticated user to inject an arbitrary script via a crafted configuration. Affected products and versions are as follows: ACERA 1210 firmware ver.02.36 and earlier, ACERA 1150i firmware ver.01.35 and earlier, ACERA 1150w firmware ver.01.35 and earlier, ACERA 1110 firmware ver.01.76 and earlier, ACERA 1020 firmware ver.01.86 and earlier, ACERA 1010 firmware ver.01.86 and earlier, ACERA 950 firmware ver.01.60 and earlier, ACERA 850F firmware ver.01.60 and earlier, ACERA 900 firmware ver.02.54 and earlier, ACERA 850M firmware ver.02.06 and earlier, ACERA 810 firmware ver.03.74 and earlier, and ACERA 800ST firmware ver.07.35 and earlier. They are affected when running in ST(Standalone) mode.
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 · high confidenceCross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in FURUNO SYSTEMS ACERA wireless LAN access point devices allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML into the web management interface via a crafted configuration file. The vulnerability exists only when devices operate in ST (Standalone) mode and affects multiple ACERA models with firmware versions prior to the fixes.

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 ACERA modelLocate the model number on the device label or within the web management interface device status pageAffected if The model is not one of the following: 1210, 1150i, 1150w, 1110, 1020, 1010, 950, or 850f - these are not affected
-
Determine the installed firmware versionAccess the web management interface and navigate to the firmware or system information section to retrieve the current firmware version numberAffected if The firmware version is at or below the vulnerable threshold for your model (02.36 for 1210, 01.35 for 1150i/1150w, 01.76 for 1110, 01.86 for 1020/1010, or 01.60 for 950/850f)
-
Check the device operating modeLocate the operational mode setting within the wireless or network configuration section of the web management interfaceAffected if The device is configured to operate in ST (Standalone) mode rather than another mode such as AP or controller-managed mode
All three conditions must be true for the device to be affected: the model must be a vulnerable ACERA variant, the firmware must be at or below the specified version limit, and the device must be operating in ST mode.

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 vendor-supplied firmware updates to all affected ACERA devices running in ST mode; until updates are available, restrict administrative access to trusted users only to limit the attack surface.
