OPNsense before 26.1.9 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript by embedding payloads in the certificate description field via the trust certificate API. The unsanitized description value is persisted and later rendered in the Dashboard Certificates widget through Certificates.js, which interpolates the raw value into HTML attribute and text content sinks without encoding, causing injected scripts to execute in the browser of any authenticated user who views the Dashboard, enabling session hijacking or credential theft.

OPNsense before 26.1.9 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with firewall rule management privileges to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript by embedding payloads in the firewall rule description field via the filter API endpoint. The unsanitized description value is persisted and later rendered through the default cell formatter in opnsensebootgrid.js, which assigns raw cell content to innerHTML, causing injected scripts to execute in the browser of any authenticated user who views the Firewall Rules page, enabling session hijacking or credential theft.

Latest version: 26.7.3

OPNsense Community Edition before 23.7 and Business Edition before 23.4.2 was discovered to contain insecure permissions in the directory /tmp.

Insecure permissions in the configuration directory (/conf/) of OPNsense Community Edition before 23.7 and Business Edition before 23.4.2 allow attackers to access sensitive information (e.g., hashed root password) which could lead to privilege escalation.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the systemadvancedsysctl.php endpoint that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via the value parameter. Attackers can craft POST requests with script payloads in the value parameter to execute JavaScript in the context of authenticated user sessions.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by submitting crafted input to the mailserver parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to the monit interface with JavaScript payloads in the mailserver parameter to execute arbitrary code in users' browsers.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by submitting crafted payloads through the ignoreLogACL parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to the proxy endpoint with JavaScript code in the ignoreLogACL parameter to execute arbitrary scripts in users' browsers.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts by exploiting the passthroughnetworks parameter in vpnipsecsettings.php. Attackers can craft POST requests with JavaScript payloads in the passthroughnetworks parameter to execute arbitrary code in users' browsers.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by exploiting insufficient input validation in the host parameter. Attackers can submit crafted payloads through POST requests to diagtraceroute.php to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a user's browser session.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts by submitting crafted input through multiple parameters. Attackers can send POST requests to interfacesvlanedit.php with script payloads in the tag, descr, or vlanif parameters to execute arbitrary JavaScript in users' browsers.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by exploiting insufficient input validation in the host parameter. Attackers can submit crafted POST requests to the diagping.php endpoint with script payloads in the host parameter to execute arbitrary JavaScript in users' browsers.

OPNsense 19.1 contains multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the diagbackup.php endpoint that allow attackers to inject malicious scripts through multiple parameters including GDriveGDriveEmail, GDriveGDriveFolderID, GDriveGDriveBackupCount, Nextcloudurl, Nextclouduser, Nextcloudpassword, Nextcloudpasswordencryption, and Nextcloudbackupdir. Attackers can submit POST requests with script payloads in these parameters to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of authenticated administrator sessions.

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.8, an authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the OPNsense core allows a user with user-management privileges to execute arbitrary system commands as root. An attacker can bypass input validation by formatting their malicious payload as a compliant email address, allowing shell commands to reach the underlying operating system. The flaw exists in the local user synchronization flow, within core/src/opnsense/scripts/auth/syncuser.php. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.8.

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.7, the XMLRPC method opnsense.restoreconfigsection fails to sanitize user supplied input leading to Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.7.

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.8, unsanitized user input is passed to the DHCP configuration of the configured interface, which is processed by a shell script, allowing remote code execution as root on the underlying operating system. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.8.

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.7, a logic flaw in the OPNsense lockouthandler allows an unauthenticated attacker to continuously reset the authentication failure counter for their IP address. By interjecting a crafted username containing a success keyword ("Accepted" or "Successful login") between normal brute-force attempts, an attacker can prevent the failure counter from ever reaching the lockout threshold. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.7.

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.6, OPNsense's LDAP authentication connector passes the login username directly into an LDAP search filter without calling ldapescape(). An unauthenticated attacker can inject LDAP filter metacharacters into the username field of the WebGUI login page to enumerate valid LDAP usernames in the configured directory. When the LDAP server configuration includes an Extended Query to restrict login to members of a specific group, the same injection can be used to bypass that group membership restriction and authenticate as any LDAP user whose password is known, regardless of group membership. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.6.

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.4, multiple OPNsense MVC API endpoints perform state‑changing operations but are accessible via HTTP GET requests without CSRF protection. The framework CSRF validation in ApiControllerBase only applies to POST/PUT/DELETE methods, allowing authenticated GET requests to bypass CSRF verification. As a result, a malicious website can trigger privileged backend actions when visited by an authenticated user, causing unintended service reloads and configuration changes through configd. This results in an authenticated Cross‑Site Request Forgery vulnerability allowing unauthorized system state changes. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.4.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts by submitting crafted input to the category parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to firewallrulesedit.php with script payloads in the category field to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of other users accessing firewall rule pages.

OPNsense 19.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the systemadvancedsysctl.php endpoint that allows attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts via the tunable parameter. Attackers can submit POST requests with script payloads that are stored and executed in the context of authenticated user sessions when the page is viewed.

OPNsense before 25.1.8 contains an authenticated command injection vulnerability in its Bridge Interface Edit endpoint (interfacesbridgeedit.php). The span POST parameter is concatenated into a system-level command without proper sanitization or escaping, allowing an administrator to inject arbitrary shell operators and payloads. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution with the privileges of the web service (typically root), potentially leading to full system compromise or lateral movement. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input validation and improper handling of user-supplied data in backend command invocations.
