CVE-2026-58390

HighCVSS 8.0
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In OPNsense before version 26.1.11, the OpenVPN dashboard widget and connection-status view place a client common_name into data-common-name attributes without quote-safe encoding. With username-as-common-name and RADIUS or LDAP authentication, an attacker can inject an event handler and execute script in an administrator's session. Fixed in version 26.1.11.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated client can execute arbitrary script in an administrator's browser, enabling reading of config.xml, invoking privileged APIs, resetting the root password, and obtaining root command execution.

Recommendation

Upgrade OPNsense to version 26.1.11 or later. Until then, restrict the ability to self-register usernames containing double quotes.

Original NVD description (English source)

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.11, the OpenVPN connection-status dashboard widget in src/opnsense/www/js/widgets/OpenVPNClients.js and the connection-status view place a client common_name into data-common-name attributes without quote-safe encoding. Exploitation requires an OpenVPN server configured with username-as-common-name and RADIUS or LDAP authentication, plus the ability to provision or self-register a valid backend username containing a double quote; deployments where the same administrator controls both the identity backend and firewall do not cross a separate trust boundary. An authenticated client using that username can close the attribute and add an event handler, while the local user database is not affected because its username validator rejects quotes. Script executes in an administrator's session when the administrator opens the dashboard or connection-status page and the injected event is triggered; the demonstrated payload used pointer movement over the client row rather than unconditional page-load execution. The advisory demonstrates that the script can read config.xml, invoke privileged APIs, reset the root password, and obtain root command execution. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.11.
