Netgate Security Advisories + NVD
Netgate maintains a dedicated Security Advisory index for pfSense (docs.netgate.com/advisories), but pfSense CVEs are assigned by MITRE and third-party researchers rather than a Netgate CNA — so VulniPulse ingests them from NVD (keyword-filtered to pfSense, dropped unless a pfSense/Netgate product is named) and links back to the Netgate advisory or pfSense reference. Covers pfSense CE (Community Edition) and pfSense Plus — a firewall/router at the network edge where a bug is directly internet-exposed.
Visit Netgate pfSense security advisoriesNetgate pfSense CE 2.8.0 allows code execution in the XMLRPC API via pfsense.exec_php. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because the API call is only available to admins and they are intentionally allowed to execute PHP code.
Netgate pfSense CE 2.7.2 allows code execution by using the module installer with a backup file with a serialized PHP object containing the post_reboot_commands property. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because this installer is only available to admins and they are intentionally allowed to execute PHP code.
In pfSense CE /suricata/suricata_app_parsers.php, the value of the policy_name parameter is not sanitized of HTML-related strings/characters before being directly displayed. This can result in stored cross-site scripting. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Services: suricata package" permissions.
In pfSense CE /suricata/suricata_flow_stream.php, the value of the policy_name parameter is not sanitized of HTML-related strings/characters before being directly displayed. This can result in stored cross-site scripting. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Services: suricata package" permissions.
In pfSense CE /suricata/suricata_ip_reputation.php, the value of the iplist parameter is not sanitized of directory traversal-related strings/characters. This value is directly used in a file existence check operation. While the contents of the file cannot be read, the server reveals whether the file exists, which enables an attacker to enumerate files on the target. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Services: suricata package" permissions.
In pfSense CE /usr/local/www/suricata/suricata_filecheck.php, the value of the filehash parameter is directly displayed without sanitizing for HTML-related characters/strings. This can result in reflected cross-site scripting if the victim is authenticated.
In pfSense CE /usr/local/www/status_traffic_totals.php, the value of the start-day parameter is not ensured to be a numeric value or sanitized of HTML-related characters/strings before being directly displayed in the input box. This value can be saved as the default value to be displayed to all users when visiting the Status Traffic Totals page, resulting in stored cross-site scripting. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Status: Traffic Totals" permissions.
In pfSense CE /usr/local/www/snort/snort_ip_reputation.php, the value of the iplist parameter is not sanitized of directory traversal-related characters/strings before being used to check if a file exists. While the contents of the file cannot be read, the server reveals whether a file exists, which allows an attacker to enumerate files on the target. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Services: Snort package" permissions.
In pfSense CE /usr/local/www/haproxy/haproxy_stats.php, the value of the showsticktablecontent parameter is displayed after being read from HTTP GET requests. This can enable reflected cross-site scripting when the victim is authenticated.
In Netgate pfSense CE 2.8.0, the "WebCfg - Diagnostics: Command" privilege allows reading arbitrary files via diag_command.php dlPath directory traversal. NOTE: the Supplier's perspective is that this is intended behavior for this privilege level, and that system administrators are informed through both the product documentation and UI.
Netgate pfSense CE (prior to 2.8.0 beta release) and corresponding Plus builds are vulnerable to command injection in the OpenVPN widget due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the OpenVPN management interface. An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary OpenVPN management commands via the remipp parameter.
Netgate pfSense CE (prior to 2.8.0 beta release) and corresponding Plus builds is vulnerable to Cross-site scripting (XSS) in the Automatic Configuration Backup (ACB) service, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript, delete backups, or leak sensitive information via an unsanitized "reason" field and a derivable device key generated from the public SSH key.
Netgate pfSense CE (prior to 2.8.0 beta release) and corresponding Plus builds is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in widgets/log.widget.php.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pfsense v2.5.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the $pconfig variable at interfaces_groups_edit.php.
The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms. This also affects Maverick Synergy Java SSH API before 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, Dropbear through 2022.83, Ssh before 5.1.1 in Erlang/OTP, PuTTY before 0.80, AsyncSSH before 2.14.2, golang.org/x/crypto before 0.17.0, libssh before 0.10.6, libssh2 through 1.11.0, Thorn Tech SFTP Gateway before 3.4.6, Tera Term before 5.1, Paramiko before 3.4.0, jsch before 0.2.15, SFTPGo before 2.5.6, Netgate pfSense Plus through 23.09.1, Netgate pfSense CE through 2.7.2, HPN-SSH through 18.2.0, ProFTPD before 1.3.8b (and before 1.3.9rc2), ORYX CycloneSSH before 2.3.4, NetSarang XShell 7 before Build 0144, CrushFTP before 10.6.0, ConnectBot SSH library before 2.2.22, Apache MINA sshd through 2.11.0, sshj through 0.37.0, TinySSH through 20230101, trilead-ssh2 6401, LANCOM LCOS and LANconfig, FileZilla before 3.66.4, Nova before 11.8, PKIX-SSH before 14.4, SecureCRT before 9.4.3, Transmit5 before 5.10.4, Win32-OpenSSH before 9.5.0.0p1-Beta, WinSCP before 6.2.2, Bitvise SSH Server before 9.32, Bitvise SSH Client before 9.33, KiTTY through 0.76.1.13, the net-ssh gem 7.2.0 for Ruby, the mscdex ssh2 module before 1.15.0 for Node.js, the thrussh library before 0.35.1 for Rust, and the Russh crate before 0.40.2 for Rust.

Directory Traversal vulnerability found in Pfsense v.2.1.3 and Pfsense Suricata v.1.4.6 pkg v.1.0.1 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the file parameter to suricata/suricata_logs_browser.php.
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability found in Netgate pfSense 2.4.4 and ACME package v.0.6.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the RootFolder field of acme_certificates.php.
Improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts in the SSHGuard component of Netgate pfSense Plus software v22.05.1 and pfSense CE software v2.6.0 allows attackers to bypass brute force protection mechanisms via crafted web requests.
A command injection vulnerability in the function restore_rrddata() of Netgate pfSense v2.7.0 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via manipulating the contents of an XML file supplied to the component config.xml.
pfSense v2.5.2 was discovered to contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the browser.php component. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into a file name.
pfSense pfBlockerNG through 2.1.4_26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands as root via shell metacharacters in the HTTP Host header. NOTE: 3.x is unaffected.
Improper access control vulnerability in pfSense CE and pfSense Plus (pfSense CE software versions prior to 2.6.0 and pfSense Plus software versions prior to 22.01) allows a remote attacker with the privilege to change NTP GPS settings to rewrite existing files on the file system, which may result in arbitrary command execution.
Improper input validation vulnerability in pfSense CE and pfSense Plus (pfSense CE software versions prior to 2.6.0 and pfSense Plus software versions prior to 22.01) allows a remote attacker with the privilege to change OpenVPN client or server settings to execute an arbitrary command.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in pfSense CE and pfSense Plus (pfSense CE software versions 2.5.2 and earlier, and pfSense Plus software versions 21.05 and earlier) allows a remote attacker to inject an arbitrary script via a malicious URL.
Directory traversal vulnerability in pfSense-pkg-WireGuard pfSense-pkg-WireGuard 0.1.5 versions prior to 0.1.5_4 and pfSense-pkg-WireGuard 0.1.6 versions prior to 0.1.6_1 allows a remote authenticated attacker to lead a pfSense user to view a file outside the public folder.
diag_routes.php in pfSense 2.5.2 allows sed data injection. Authenticated users are intended to be able to view data about the routes set in the firewall. The data is retrieved by executing the netstat utility, and then its output is parsed via the sed utility. Although the common protection mechanisms against command injection (i.e., the usage of the escapeshellarg function for the arguments) are used, it is still possible to inject sed-specific code and write an arbitrary file in an arbitrary location.
/usr/local/www/pkg.php in pfSense CE before 2.6.0 and pfSense Plus before 22.01 uses $_REQUEST['pkg_filter'] in a PHP echo call, causing XSS.
An authenticated Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in widgets/widgets/wake_on_lan_widget.php, a component of the pfSense software WebGUI, on version 2.4.4-p2 and earlier. The widget did not encode the descr (description) parameter of wake-on-LAN entries in its output, leading to a possible stored XSS.
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in status_filter_reload.php, a page in the pfSense software WebGUI, on Netgate pfSense version 2.4.4-p2 and earlier. The page did not encode output from the filter reload process, and a stored XSS was possible via the descr (description) parameter on NAT rules.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in pfSense 2.4.5-p1 which allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary web scripts via exploitation of the load_balancer_monitor.php function.
pfSense 2.5.0 allows XSS via the services_wol_edit.php Description field.
pfSense before 2.4.5 has stored XSS in system_usermanager_addprivs.php in the WebGUI via the descr parameter (aka full name) of a user.
/usr/local/www/freeradius_view_config.php in the freeradius3 package before 0.15.7_3 for pfSense on FreeBSD allows a user with an XSS payload as password or username to execute arbitrary javascript code on a victim browser.
An issue was discovered in pfSense through 2.4.4-p3. widgets/widgets/picture.widget.php uses the widgetkey parameter directly without sanitization (e.g., a basename call) for a pathname to file_get_contents or file_put_contents.
