Browser script execution via unescaped mailserver parameter
Published Feb 15, 2026 · Updated Feb 15, 2026
Reflected XSS in the OPNsense 19.1 monit interface allows remote attackers to execute scripts in a user's browser via a crafted POST request. The /ui/monit handler reflects the mailserver parameter into an HTML response without context-appropriate escaping, causing injected event-handler markup to run as script. Exploitation requires a user to render the crafted response; the script then runs in that user's OPNsense web-interface origin and can read or modify session-accessible data.
