CVE-2025-34312IPFire < v2.29 Command Injection via URL Filter Blacklist
High 8.7
In plain English
A high-severity OS command injection in IPFire from IPFire.org. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 2.2% (higher than 83% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the 'nobody' user via the BE_NAME parameter when installing a blacklist. When a blacklist is installed the application issues an HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/urlfilter.cgi and interpolates the value of BE_NAME directly into a shell invocation without appropriate sanitation. Crafted input can inject shell metacharacters, leading to arbitrary command execution in the context of the 'nobody' user.
