CVE-2026-58394

OPNsense: Stored XSS in Administration Settings via Certificate Description

Published Oct 15, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.2 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.11, src/www/system_advanced_admin.php reads certificate records into $a_cert but omits that array from legacy_html_escape_form_data() before rendering each certificate descr value in the SSL Certificate selector. The certificate description accepts HTML metacharacters, allowing a user with the page-system-certmanager privilege to store markup that executes when another user opens System Settings Administration. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.11.
