CVE-2026-57155

CriticalCVSS 9.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In OPNsense prior to 26.1.11, the Firewall Alias GeoIP importer uses an unvalidated CSV country_code value to construct output filenames, allowing path traversal. A user with Firewall Alias Edit privilege can supply a crafted archive and write attacker-controlled content as root, then leverage cron to execute commands as root.

Risk Assessment

Full compromise of the OPNsense firewall is possible by an attacker with alias edit privileges, leading to compromise of the entire network infrastructure.

Recommendation

Upgrade OPNsense to version 26.1.11 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.11, the Firewall Alias GeoIP importer's process_zip() and process_gzip() paths in src/opnsense/scripts/filter/lib/alias/geoip.py use an unvalidated CSV country_code value to construct output filenames below /usr/local/share/GeoIP/alias. A user with Firewall Alias Edit privilege can configure an attacker-controlled GeoIP source URL and supply an archive whose country code traverses into another existing directory, causing attacker-controlled content to be written as root with an -IPv4 or -IPv6 suffix. A crafted newsyslog fragment and oversized log file can use the default hourly root cron job to execute commands as root, resulting in complete firewall compromise. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.11.
