OPNsense 19.1 contains multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the diag_backup.php endpoint that allow attackers to inject malicious scripts through multiple parameters including GDrive_GDriveEmail, GDrive_GDriveFolderID, GDrive_GDriveBackupCount, Nextcloud_url, Nextcloud_user, Nextcloud_password, Nextcloud_password_encryption, and Nextcloud_backupdir. Attackers can submit POST requests with script payloads in these parameters to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of authenticated administrator sessions.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using the diag_backup.php endpoint that allow attackers to inject malicious scripts should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2019-25368, a cross-site scripting vulnerability rated CVSS 5.4. Attackers could inject scripts to steal sessions or perform actions as authenticated users. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: implement CSP headers, enable HttpOnly cookies, deploy WAF XSS rules.
