CVE-2026-67189: pfSense Plus/CE Stored XSS via Traffic Graphs PTR Record

• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 1.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-08-19 · updated 2026-10-26
• Weakness: CWE-79

Description

pfSense Plus before 26.07 and pfSense CE through 2.8.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Traffic Graphs top-talkers feature, where PTR records returned by reverse DNS lookups are incorporated without sanitization into AJAX responses and rendered as HTML through a DOM sink in the administrator interface. An attacker who controls a PTR record and generates sufficient traffic to appear as a top talker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser, gaining access to the authenticated session context and same-origin access to the firewall management interface, enabling account creation and arbitrary OS command execution.

Affected products

• Netgate pfSense CE: through 2.8.1
• Netgate pfSense Plus: before 26.07 — fixed in 26.07

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Netgate pfSense Plus 26.07. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
