Summary

Deciso OPNsense diag_backup.php contains a directory traversal arbitrary file creation vulnerability. Network-adjacent attackers can create arbitrary files on affected installations, though authentication is required. The flaw exists in the handling of backup configuration files due to lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path before use in file operations, allowing file creation in the context of root.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated adjacent-network attacker could create files with root privileges, potentially leading to privilege escalation, configuration modification, or further system compromise.

Recommendation

Update OPNsense to a patched version and restrict access to the management interface to trusted networks.
