Who should care

Administrators and users of the affected Elecom WRC-X3000GS2-B, WRC-X3000GS2-W, WRC-X3000GS2A-B, and WRC-X3000GST2-B devices should care, especially if the web admin interface is used from browsers that also visit untrusted sites.

Technical summary

The issue is classified as CWE-79 (cross-site scripting). NVD lists the CVSS v3.1 vector as AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, which indicates remote reachability but requires user interaction: a logged-in user must load a malicious page for the injected script to run. NVD records vulnerable firmware versions for the affected Elecom models up to 1.08.

Defensive priority

Medium — prioritize patching and session hygiene for any device used through a browser-based admin workflow.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Update affected Elecom firmware to a version newer than 1.08 using the vendor guidance referenced in the Elecom and JVN advisories.
  • Confirm which WRC-X3000 model is deployed and inventory any devices matching the affected product names.
  • Avoid browsing untrusted websites while logged in to the router administration interface.
  • Limit access to the management interface to trusted networks or other controlled administration paths where possible.
  • Review the Elecom and JVN advisories for the vendor's remediation guidance and any model-specific notes.
