Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced before 4.0.1.1, as used in SonicWALL Pro 2040 and TZ 180 and 190, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML into arbitrary web sites via a URL to a site that is blocked based on content filtering, which is not properly handled in the CFS block page, aka "universal website hijacking."

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older SonicWALL firewalls could turn a blocked-site warning page into a script injection point. A user who was sent to a specially crafted blocked URL could see attacker-controlled script or HTML in the firewall’s content-filtering block page, creating a broad website hijacking risk through the security device itself. Exposure is most likely in legacy SonicWALL Pro 2040, TZ 180, TZ 190, or similar SonicOS Enhanced deployments running versions before 4.0.1.1 with Content Filtering Service block pages in user traffic paths. Treat this as a legacy perimeter hygiene issue. It is not KEV-listed in the provided data, but affected devices sit in trusted network paths and may be long unsupported. Prioritize confirming whether any vulnerable SonicOS Enhanced appliances remain deployed. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SonicOS Enhanced to 4.0.1.1 or later where vendor-supported.; Identify and replace unsupported legacy SonicWALL appliances still in production.; Review SonicWall release notes and guidance for affected firmware branches..
