CVE-2026-44193
CriticalSummary
OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. In versions prior to 26.1.7, the XMLRPC method opnsense.restore_config_section fails to sanitize user supplied input, leading to Remote Code Execution.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability could allow attackers to execute code remotely on the server, posing a serious threat to the security of the system and the organization's data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update OPNsense to version 26.1.7 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in OPNsense
See all- CVE-2026-53581Critical
OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.9 of opnsense/core and version 26.4_20 of BE/opnsense/core, a path traversal vulnerability in the NTP configuration module allows an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system as the root user. By manipulating the GPS or PPS serial port parameter, an attacker with access to the NTP configuration can escape the intended directory and write user-controlled data to any file.
- CVE-2026-45158Critical
OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.8, unsanitized user input was passed to the DHCP configuration, allowing remote code execution as root on the underlying operating system.
- CVE-2023-39004Critical
Insecure permissions in the configuration directory (/conf/) of OPNsense Community Edition before 23.7 and Business Edition before 23.4.2 allow attackers to access sensitive information (e.g., hashed root password) which could lead to privilege escalation.
- CVE-2026-49132Medium
OPNsense before version 26.1.9 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the certificate description field. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via the trust certificate API, and the unsanitized description is rendered in the Dashboard Certificates widget, causing script execution in the browser of any authenticated user.
- CVE-2026-49131Medium
OPNsense before version 26.1.9 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the firewall rule description field. An authenticated attacker with firewall rule management privileges can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via the filter API endpoint, and the unsanitized description is rendered through the default cell formatter in opnsense_bootgrid.js, causing script execution in the browser of any authenticated user.
- CVE-2023-39003High
OPNsense Community Edition before 23.7 and Business Edition before 23.4.2 were found to have insecure permissions on the /tmp directory. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to access sensitive data or escalate privileges.
