Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in pfSense

The pfSense firewall software is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to inadequate sanitization of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of a targeted user, potentially leading to the theft of authentication credentials and other malicious activities.

Mitigation:

It is recommended to update to the latest version of pfSense to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Additionally, users should be cautious when visiting untrusted websites or clicking on suspicious links.

pfSense is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

pfSense 2 Beta 4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
