Discussion
pfSense 'username' Field HTML Injection Vulnerability
pfSense is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
pfSense 2.0.1 and prior versions are vulnerable.
