Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
In pfSense CEΒ /suricata/suricata_ip_reputation.php, the value of the iplist parameter is not sanitized of directory traversal-related strings/characters. This value is directly used in a file existence check operation. While the contents of the file cannot be read, the server reveals whether the file exists, which enables an attacker to enumerate files on the target. The attacker must be authenticated with at least "WebCfg - Services: suricata package" permissions.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in pfSense CE's suricata_ip_reputation.php where the iplist parameter is not properly sanitized for directory traversal characters. This allows an authenticated attacker with specific permissions to check if arbitrary files exist on the server by exploiting the file existence check, enabling file enumeration without reading file contents.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows an attacker with certain authenticated permissions to enumerate files on the server, potentially revealing sensitive file existence information. This could aid in further attacks or reconnaissance, compromising system security and privacy.
