A missing authentication vulnerability in the Kernel Memory Access Driver (PSKMAD) used by WatchGuard endpoint security products allows a local, authenticated attacker to bypass the driver's access-control handshake and issue arbitrary privileged commands to the driver, resulting in disclosure of kernel and process memory.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of WatchGuard FireWare OS. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 7.2. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2026-18145.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of WatchGuard FireWare OS. An attacker must first obtain the ability to write to the samld session directory on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 7.5. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2026-13046.

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS authentication process allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the management daemon by sending a specially request to the login interface, resulting in a denial of service.
An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the Fireware OS login process (wgagent) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted request.
An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Fireware OS's diagnostic tasks feature allows a low-privileged, authenticated user to cause a denial of service of the system's diagnostic tools by repeatedly starting and aborting a specially crafted diagnostic task through the web UI.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in WatchGuard Fireware OS's DHCP fingerprinting daemon (fingerd) allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to execute arbitrary code or crash the process by sending a specially crafted DHCP packet.
A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in WatchGuard Fireware OS's SAML single sign-on session handling (samld) allows an attacker who has already obtained the ability to write files on the appliance to execute arbitrary code in the context of the samld service by causing samld to load a maliciously crafted session file.
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in Fireware OS's NetFlow packet-processing feature allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted IPv6 packet.
An improper authorization vulnerability in WatchGuard Fireware OS's SAML login process allows a remote, authenticated SAML user with access only to the Access Portal to obtain unauthorized Mobile VPN with SSL access through a specially crafted request.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the spamBlocker (spamd) service of WatchGuard Fireware OS allows an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to crash the service or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted management request.
A path traversal vulnerability in the Fireware OS WebUI management agent allows an authenticated administrator to read or list arbitrary files on the local filesystem by sending a specially crafted management request.
A code injection vulnerability in WatchGuard Fireware OS's BOVPN Over TLS client configuration handling allows an attacker who controls the remote VPN server to execute arbitrary commands as root on the connecting Firebox.
An integer underflow vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS IKE daemon (iked) allows a remote attacker who has completed the initial IKEv2 handshake to crash the iked process by sending a specially crafted encrypted IKEv2 message, resulting in a denial of service.
An improper authorization vulnerability in Fireware OS's Access Portal reverse proxy allows an authenticated, low-privileged Access Portal user to access other web applications they are not authorized for by sending a specially crafted request for a different resource which they are authorized to access.
A missing authorization vulnerability in the wgagent management daemon's session initialization function allows an authenticated, low-privileged user (including a read-only or guest administrator account) to crash the wgagent process and read arbitrary files accessible to the daemon by submitting a specially crafted management API request.
A missing authorization vulnerability in the wgagent management daemon's session initialization function allows an authenticated, low-privileged user (including a read-only or guest administrator account) to crash the wgagent process and read arbitrary files accessible to the daemon by submitting a specially crafted management API request.
An integer underflow vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS IKEv2 daemon (iked) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the process by sending a specially crafted encrypted IKEv2 message negotiated with an AES-GCM cipher suite.
An OS command injection vulnerability in the WatchGuard AP internal API service allows an attacker with network access to the AP to execute arbitrary shell commands on the underlying operating system.
An improper access control vulnerability in an internal API service on WatchGuard Access Points allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the AP to obtain a valid API session.
An OS command injection vulnerability in the WatchGuard AP diagnostic CLI allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating system commands by supplying crafted input.
A missing/improper authentication vulnerability in the WatchGuard AuthPoint Gateway's LDAP Sync first-factor authentication allows a remote attacker to bypass single-factor password verification under non-default operating conditions. Additional authentication factors still apply.
CISA has confirmed that ransomware operators are exploiting CVE-2025-14733, a critical remote-code-execution vulnerability affecting WatchGuard Firebox appliances. The bug can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code remotely under vulnerable configurations.
This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of WatchGuard FireWare OS. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 8.8. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2026-13086.

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in WatchGuard Dimension's database snapshot creation feature allows a remote attacker to trigger unauthorized snapshot creation by tricking an authenticated administrator into visiting a specially crafted web page.
Rejected reason: Rejecting as a duplicate of CVE-2026-78047
WatchGuard Dimension's web login endpoint does not enforce effective rate-limiting or account lockout by default allowing a remote attacker to perform automated password guessing against user accounts. If the account lockout setting is enabled, brute-force attempts are blocked after a defined number of failed attempts, but this setting is not enabled by default.
