Aerohive HiveOS XSS and (limited) LFI

Aerohive version 5.1r5 through 6.1r5 contain two vulnerabilities, one reflective XSS vulnerability and a limited local file inclusion vulnerability (I was only able to view source from one specific folder, maybe you can leverage this further). It's possible earlier version are affected, I was only able to review 5.1r5 briefly, the vendor indicated other version up to 6.1r5 are vulnerable as well.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to version 6.1r5 or later
