CVE-2026-62948 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in OpenWrt affecting versions prior to 25.12.5. The issue arises because odhcpd writes the DHCPv6 client FQDN option 39 hostname into the lease state file without escaping in src/statefiles.c, specifically via statefiles_write_state6() and statefiles_write_state4(). Because newline characters are not sanitized, an unauthenticated DHCPv6 client can inject forged lease entries into the lease file. Those entries are later retrieved by rpcd-mod-luci and rendered by LuCI on the Active DHCPv6 Leases administration page as live HTML, creating a persistent XSS condition in the web interface. The flaw is fundamentally an input-neutralization failure in the lease-writing path that becomes exploitable through unsafe HTML rendering in LuCI.
