Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
A malicious script can be executed in the context of other users viewing the DNS configuration, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or configuration modification. The risk affects all IPFire users with access to the web interface.
Recommendation
Update IPFire to version 2.29 (Core Update 198) or later. Until patching, restrict access to the administrative interface and validate input data.
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-2025-34316Medium
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.
- CVE-2025-34312High
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.
Original NVD description (English source)
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. When a user adds a DNS entry, the application issues an HTTP POST request to /cgi-bin/dns.cgi and these values are provided in the corresponding parameters. The values are stored and later rendered in the web interface without proper sanitation or encoding, allowing injected scripts to execute in the context of other users who view the affected DNS configuration.
