Wiring a Home Network Last year, my partner and I moved into a new (to us) house. One of the first things I needed to get done was to get our home network setup as we both were (still are) working from home due to COVID-19. This post will explore some of that process, some of the decisions I made along the way, what I learned, and some details on the end setup.

Among a few other issues, it identified a handful of similar XSS vulnerabilities of a similar pattern: <script type="text/javascript"> var FOO = "<%= raw whatever %>"; ReactDOM.render(<Blah foo={window.FOO} />, document.getElementById('some_place')); </script> This is a pretty straight forward vulnerability, since passing untrusted data to a JavaScript context can lead to XSS.
