Description

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities were discovered in the pfSense WebGUI during a security audit. * Multiple XSS in System > Advanced, Notifications page. * XSS in captive portal status widget * XSS in edit.php Due to the lack of encoding on the affected actions and pages, an attacker could cause an administrator's browser session to trigger an unwanted action by getting them to browse to a crafted URL.
