description

pfSense CE 2.7.0 through 2.9.0 is affected by a command injection flaw in Captive Portal HA synchronization. An attacker with the Captive Portal HA privilege can cause commands to run as root by controlling the synchronization service response.

mitigation

Revoke or tightly restrict the Captive Portal HA privilege and ensure synchronization endpoints are trusted and access-controlled. Disable Captive Portal HA synchronization where it is not required; no fixed version is recorded in the advisory.
