Summary

Netgate pfSense CE through 2.9.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability. An authenticated user with limited Wireless Edit or Interface Assignments privileges can supply a crafted wireless parent interface name (e.g. ath0;<cmd>), which is interpolated unescaped into an ifconfig shell command, allowing commands to be executed as root.

Risk Assessment

A low-privileged user can gain full root control of the device, leading to complete compromise of the firewall and network.

Recommendation

Upgrade pfSense CE beyond 2.9.0 once a fix is available, and restrict Wireless Edit and Interface Assignments privileges to trusted administrators.
