No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Netgate pfSense CE 2.7.2 allows code execution by using the module installer with a backup file with a serialized PHP object containing the post_reboot_commands property. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because this installer is only available to admins and they are intentionally allowed to execute PHP code.
