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.
Latest pfSense advisories
High [CVE-2024-54780] Netgate pfSense CE (prior to 2.8.0 beta release) and corresponding Plus builds are vulnerable to command injection in the…
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.
Medium [CVE-2024-57273] Netgate pfSense CE (prior to 2.8.0 beta release) and corresponding Plus builds is vulnerable to Cross-site scripting (XSS) in…
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.
Medium [CVE-2024-54779] Netgate pfSense CE (prior to 2.8.0 beta release) and corresponding Plus builds is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in…
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.
Medium [CVE-2024-46538] cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pfsense v2.5.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML
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.
Medium [CVE-2023-48795] pfSense: The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other products
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 [email protected] and (if CBC is used) the [email protected] MAC algorithms.
