Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command in the XMLRPC endpoint method opnsense.restore_config_section in src/etc/inc/auth.inc when processing user-supplied XMLRPC configuration data. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted XMLRPC request to execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires access to the XMLRPC endpoint with the XMLRPC Library privilege, and the injected payload is triggered during a synchronization such as reloading all services.
