Summary
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a command injection vulnerability. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands as the 'nobody' user via the BE_NAME parameter when installing a blacklist, as the value is interpolated into a shell invocation without proper sanitation.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with a valid account can gain control of the system in the context of the 'nobody' user, potentially leading to further privilege escalation and full compromise of the IPFire device.
Recommendation
Update IPFire to version 2.29 (Core Update 198) or later. Restrict access to the administrative interface and monitor for unusual calls to /cgi-bin/urlfilter.cgi.
Other vulnerabilities in IPFire
See all- CVE-2017-9757High
IPFire 2.19 has a Remote Command Injection vulnerability in ids.cgi via the OINKCODE parameter, which is mishandled by a shell. This can be exploited directly by authenticated users, or through CSRF.
- CVE-2025-34311High
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the user 'nobody' via multiple parameters when creating a Proxy report. Parameters such as DAY_BEGIN, MONTH_BEGIN, YEAR_BEGIN, DAY_END, MONTH_END, YEAR_END, NUM_DOMAINS, PERF_INTERVAL, NUM_CONTENT, HIST_LEVEL, NUM_HOSTS, NUM_URLS, and BYTE_UNIT are interpolated directly into the shell invocation without sanitization.
- CVE-2025-34318Medium
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code through the TLS_HOSTNAME, UPSTREAM_USER, UPSTREAM_PASSWORD, ADMIN_MAIL_ADDRESS, and ADMIN_PASSWORD parameters when adding a new DNS entry. The values are stored and later rendered in the web interface without proper sanitation or encoding.
- CVE-2025-34316Medium
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a stored XSS vulnerability allowing an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the txt_mailuser and txt_mailpass parameters when updating mail server settings. Values are stored and rendered without proper encoding.
- CVE-2025-34315Medium
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a stored XSS vulnerability allowing an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the REMOTELOG_ADDR parameter when updating the remote syslog server address. The value is stored and rendered without proper encoding.
Original NVD description (English source)
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the 'nobody' user via the BE_NAME parameter when installing a blacklist. When a blacklist is installed the application issues an HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/urlfilter.cgi and interpolates the value of BE_NAME directly into a shell invocation without appropriate sanitation. Crafted input can inject shell metacharacters, leading to arbitrary command execution in the context of the 'nobody' user.
