Description
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the DHCP lease display
in the pfSense software WebGUI on version 2.3.3-p1 and earlier.
If a malicious client submits a hostname containing HTML, it is displayed to
the user viewing the DHCP leases without encoding.
Due to the lack of proper encoding on the affected variable succeptible to XSS,
arbitrary JavaScript can be executed in the user's browser. The user's session
cookie or other information from the session may be compromised.
