Question about 2 vulnerabilities in 25.1.10

[holunde]

I'm just wondering, why a release is coming out with these 2 new vulnerabilities?

Currently running OPNsense 25.1.10 (amd64) at Fri Jul  4 11:50:37 CEST 2025

The PHP vulnerabilities came out after 25.1.10 was released. I did the check just after installation and they were not listed.

The sudo vulnerabilities are not applicable to OpnSense, because you do not have SSH users that do not also have root privileges - or at least, you should not have them.

25.7 is due to release on 2025-07-23 and I guess this will be fixed then.

Hi

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for your reply!

The PHP 8.3 vulnerabilities identified (CVE‑2025‑1220, CVE‑2025‑6491, CVE‑2025‑1735) were discovered and published after the release of 25.1.10. That means when the release was packaged, those PHP issues were still unknown and could not have been addressed in that version.
The sudo issues (CVE‑2025‑32462 and CVE‑2025‑32463) are flagged by the vulnerability scanner, but as the forum explains, these are not applicable in typical OPNsense configurations. OPNsense doesn't usually permit SSH users with sudo rights who aren't already root or privileged. Therefore, in most setups, the risk is negligible.
