Last modified
CVE-2018-20799 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In pfSense 2.4.4_1, blocking of source IP addresses on the basis of failed HTTPS authentication is inconsistent with blocking of source IP addresses on the basis of failed SSH authentication (the behavior does not match the sshguard documentation), which might make it easier for attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.. EPSS estimates a 1.59% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
