CVE-2026-111230
Netgate pfSense CE hasta la versión 2.9.0 contiene una vulnerabilidad de lectura local de archivos que permite a los usuarios con el privilegio de cliente de DNS dinámico leer archivos como root estableciendo una URL de actualización personalizada file:// en services_dyndns_edit.php. Los atacantes pueden establecer una cadena de coincidencia de resultados que no coincida para que _checkStatus() registre el contenido de archivos como /conf/config.xml o /etc/master.passwd en el registro del sistema.

Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement85 % - Impacto principal
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection85 % - Impacto secundario
T1552.001Credentials In Filescredential access55 %
Vector AV:N con PR:H aplica la regla T1210; el texto indica lectura de archivos como root (/conf/config.xml, /etc/master.passwd) volcados al log del sistema.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
