OPNsense before 26.1.9 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript by embedding payloads in the certificate description field via the trust certificate API. The unsanitized description value is persisted and later rendered in the Dashboard Certificates widget through Certificates.js, which interpolates the raw value into HTML attribute and text content sinks without encoding, causing injected scripts to execute in the browser of any authenticated user who views the Dashboard, enabling session hijacking or credential theft.

OPNsense before 26.1.9 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with firewall rule management privileges to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript by embedding payloads in the firewall rule description field via the filter API endpoint. The unsanitized description value is persisted and later rendered through the default cell formatter in opnsense_bootgrid.js, which assigns raw cell content to innerHTML, causing injected scripts to execute in the browser of any authenticated user who views the Firewall Rules page, enabling session hijacking or credential theft.

Deciso OPNsense diag_backup.php filename Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Deciso OPNsense. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of backup configuration files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-28131.

CVE-2025-13698 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Deciso OPNsense version 25.7, specifically in the diag_backup.php component. It allows an authenticated network-adjacent attacker to create arbitrary files with root privileges by exploiting improper validation of user-supplied file paths. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or availability but can severely affect system integrity. Exploitation requires high privileges (authentication) but no user interaction. There are no known exploits in the wild currently. European organizations using OPNsense 25.7, especially those in critical infrastructure or government sectors, should prioritize patching or mitigating this issue. Mitigations include strict input validation, restricting file write permissions, and monitoring for unusual file creation activities.

In Deciso OPNsense before 25.7.4, when creating an "Interfaces: Devices: Point-to-Point" entry, the value of the parameter ptpid is not sanitized of HTML-related characters/strings. This value is directly displayed when visiting the page/interfaces_assign.php, which can result in stored cross-site scripting. The attacker must be authenticated with at-least "Interfaces: PPPs: Edit" permission. This vulnerability has been addressed by the vendor in the product release notes as "ui: legacy_html_escape_form_data() was not escaping keys only data elements."
