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.
High [CVE-2023-48123] issue in Netgate pfSense Plus v.23.05.1 and before and pfSense CE v.2.7.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code
An issue in Netgate pfSense Plus v.23.05.1 and before and pfSense CE v.2.7.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to the packet_capture.php file.
High [CVE-2023-42326] issue in Netgate pfSense v.2.7.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code
An issue in Netgate pfSense v.2.7.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to the interfaces_gif_edit.php and interfaces_gre_edit.php components.
High [CVE-2023-29975] issue discovered in Pfsense CE version 2.6.0 allows attackers to change the password of any user without verification
An issue discovered in Pfsense CE version 2.6.0 allows attackers to change the password of any user without verification.
High [CVE-2020-19678] Directory Traversal vulnerability found in Pfsense v.2.1.3 and Pfsense Suricata v.1.4.6 pkg v.1.0.1
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.
High [CVE-2023-27253] command injection vulnerability in the function restore_rrddata() of Netgate pfSense v2.7.0
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.
High [CVE-2022-26019] Improper access control vulnerability in pfSense CE and pfSense Plus (pfSense CE software versions prior to 2.6.0 and pfSense…
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.
High [CVE-2022-24299] Improper input validation vulnerability in pfSense CE and pfSense Plus (pfSense CE software versions prior to 2.6.0 and pfSense…
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.
High [CVE-2021-41282] pfSense: diag_routes.php in pfSense 2.5.2 allows sed data injection.
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.
High [CVE-2019-16667] diag_command.php in pfSense 2.4.4-p3 allows CSRF
diag_command.php in pfSense 2.4.4-p3 allows CSRF via the txtCommand or txtRecallBuffer field, as demonstrated by executing OS commands. This occurs because csrf_callback() produces a "CSRF token expired" error and a Try Again button when a CSRF token is missing.
High [CVE-2019-16701] pfSense through 2.3.4 through 2.4.4-p3 allows Remote Code Injection
pfSense through 2.3.4 through 2.4.4-p3 allows Remote Code Injection via a methodCall XML document with a pfsense.exec_php call containing shell metacharacters in a parameter value.
High [CVE-2019-11816] Incorrect access control in the WebUI in OPNsense before version 19.1.8, and pfsense before 2.4.4-p3
Incorrect access control in the WebUI in OPNsense before version 19.1.8, and pfsense before 2.4.4-p3 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges to administrator via a specially crafted request.
High [CVE-2018-20799] In pfSense 2.4.4_1, blocking of source IP addresses on the basis of failed HTTPS authentication is inconsistent with blocking of…
In pfSense 2.4.4_1, blocking of source IP addresses on the basis of failed HTTPS authentication is inconsistent with blocking of source IP addresses on the basis of failed SSH authentication (the behavior does not match the sshguard documentation), which might make it easier for attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
High [CVE-2018-20798] The expiretable configuration in pfSense 2.4.4_1 establishes block durations that are incompatible with the block durations…
The expiretable configuration in pfSense 2.4.4_1 establishes block durations that are incompatible with the block durations implemented by sshguard, which might make it easier for attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
