Vulnerability details
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.
