CVE-2018-25034: Thomson TCW710 wlanPrimaryNetwork Persistent cross site scripting

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Thomson TCW710 ST5D.10.05. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /goform/wlanPrimaryNetwork. The manipulation of the argument ServiceSetIdentifier with the input ><script>alert(1)</script> as part of POST Request leads to basic cross site scripting (Persistent). The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-126695.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2018-25034 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in Thomson TCW710 router firmware ST5D.10.05. An authenticated change to the wireless network name field can persist script content that later runs in a browser when viewed. Business risk is limited but relevant for legacy routers and exposed management interfaces.

Executive priority

Treat this as low urgency unless affected routers are internet exposed, shared with untrusted administrators, or unsupported. Prioritize inventory and management-interface hardening over emergency response.

Technical view

The issue affects /goform/wlanPrimaryNetwork processing of the ServiceSetIdentifier argument on Thomson TCW710 ST5D.10.05. CVSS 3.1 is 3.5: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, with integrity impact only. The source bundle does not name a vendor patch.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to organizations still operating Thomson TCW710 devices on firmware ST5D.10.05, especially where router administration is reachable by untrusted users or over broader networks.

Exploitation context

VulDB states the exploit was publicly disclosed and may be used. The CVE is not listed as KEV in the bundle, and no cited source establishes active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Evidence supports stored XSS, public disclosure, affected firmware, and required low privileges plus user interaction. Evidence is incomplete on vendor patch availability, real-world exploitation, and exact exposure prevalence.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Thomson or ISP firmware guidance for TCW710 ST5D.10.05.
  • Restrict router administration to trusted internal management networks.
  • Remove internet exposure from the administrative interface.
  • Replace unsupported or unmanaged legacy router hardware.
  • Use strong unique administrator credentials.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory environments for Thomson TCW710 devices and firmware ST5D.10.05.
  • Confirm administrative interfaces are not reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review wireless SSID configuration for unexpected or malformed values.
  • Check whether vendor or ISP support lists updated firmware.
  • Validate access controls for users who can change WLAN settings.
