CVE-2026-119409 Details
Description
OPNsense before 26.7.8 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated users with the System: Firmware privilege to execute commands as root by storing a malicious firmware mirror URL. Attackers can submit shell metacharacters through POST /api/core/firmware/set that opnsense-update evaluates with eval, and can also disable package signature verification through sed injection.
A command injection vulnerability has been identified in OPNsense versions prior to 26.7.8. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with the System: Firmware privilege to execute arbitrary commands as root. The issue arises when a malicious firmware mirror URL is stored via the API. The 'opnsense-update' utility then evaluates this URL with 'eval', executing any embedded commands. Additionally, the vulnerability can be exploited to disable package signature verification, bypassing security measures for software installations.
Users can update to OPNsense version 26.7.8 or 26.10, both of which include the necessary fix. Instructions for updating OPNsense can be found in the official OPNsense documentation.
