CVE-2025-34178 Details
Description
In pfSense CE /suricata/suricata_app_parsers.php, the value of the policy_name parameter is not sanitized of HTML-related strings/characters before being directly displayed. This can result in stored cross-site scripting. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Services: suricata package" permissions.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the pfSense Suricata package, specifically in the file '/usr/local/www/suricata/suricata_app_parsers.php'. The issue arises because the 'policy_name' parameter is not properly sanitized before being displayed, allowing for the injection of HTML-related strings that could be executed in the user's browser. This vulnerability requires authentication and permissions to access the Suricata package settings.
A new package build has been published and is available for pfSense Plus 25.07.1, Plus 25.07, CE 2.8.1, and CE 2.8.0.
