CVE-2026-119425: OPNsense 26.1.6 through 26.7.7 Captive Portal Session Takeover via Forged ARP
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.31% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
OPNsense core 26.1.6 through 26.7.7 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the captive portal roaming feature that lets unauthenticated attackers hijack authorized client sessions by spoofing unauthenticated MAC-to-IP observations. Attackers on the same Layer-2 segment can send forged gratuitous ARP replies binding their IP to a victim's MAC, gaining portal access with traffic attributed to the victim.
