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!

[meyergru]

1. The current CE version is 25.7.7_4, where this has long been patched.
2. As I wrote, the vulnerability never applied to OpnSense anyway - and I also explained why.

[meyergru]

It does not become any more true by repeating this. As pointed out, the PHP vulnerabilities were detected after the 25.1.10 release, so there never was "a release ship with fresh vulnerabilities still present" like you say.

The sudo vulnerabilities are not applicable to OpnSense, so they were a false alarm.

Anyway, 25.1.10 was long ago succeeded by 25.7.x, were the referenced vulnerabilities have been fixed.

So, what is your actual complaint? Not having updating to 25.7.7_4? That would be on you, I guess.

Hopefully a follow-up patch drops soon, because seeing those CVEs right after updating doesn't inspire much confidence.

The followup patch is 25.7. 25.1 is long EOL. Complaining about vulnerabilities in EOL software is a bit strange, don't you think. But you do you.

You both have been arguing with a bot :)

[meyergru]

Saw that only after it started advertising... damn AI slop.

It's pretty interesting. I'll try to delete it when I see embedded links, but they mostly stick random stuff on here or repost old forum messages and only go back later and add links everywhere they already posted.


Cheers,
