HTTP server on the WatchGuard SOHO firewall does not properly restrict access to administrative functions such as password resets or rebooting, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or conduct unauthorized activities.
Buffer overflow in HTTP server on the WatchGuard SOHO firewall allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long GET request.
Watchguard Firebox II firewall allows users with read-only access to gain read-write access, and administrative privileges, by accessing a file that contains hashed passphrases, and using the hashes during authentication.
Format string vulnerability in the CLI interface for WatchGuard Firebox Vclass 3.2 and earlier, and RSSA Appliance 3.0.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the password parameter.
Watchguard SOHO firewall 5.0.35 unpredictably disables certain IP restrictions for customized services that were set before the administrator upgrades to 5.0.35, which could allow remote attackers to bypass the intended access control rules.
The CLI interface for WatchGuard Firebox Vclass 3.2 and earlier, and RSSA Appliance 3.0.2, does not properly close the SSH connection when a -N option is provided during authentication, which allows remote attackers to access CLI with administrator privileges.
An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects both the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 and the branch office VPN using IKEv2 when configured with a dynamic gateway peer. If the Firebox was previously configured with the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 or a branch office VPN using IKEv2 to a dynamic gateway peer, and both of those configurations have since been deleted, that Firebox may still be vulnerable if a branch office VPN to a static gateway peer is still configured.

On WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances, an unauthenticated user can execute arbitrary code, aka FBX-22786. This vulnerability impacts Fireware OS before 12.7.2U2, 12.x before 12.1.3U8, and 12.2.x through 12.5.x before 12.5.9U2.
An issue was discovered on WatchGuard AP100, AP102, and AP200 devices with firmware before 1.2.9.15, and AP300 devices with firmware before 2.0.0.10. Incorrect validation of the "old password" field in the change password form allows an attacker to bypass validation of this field.
An issue was discovered on WatchGuard AP100, AP102, and AP200 devices with firmware before 1.2.9.15. Hardcoded credentials exist for an unprivileged SSH account with a shell of /bin/false.
An integer overflow in WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a malicious request to exposed management ports. This is fixed in Fireware OS 12.8.1, 12.5.10, and 12.1.4.
A path traversal vulnerability in WatchGuard Agent allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.
Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in WatchGuard Authentication Gateway (aka Single Sign-On Agent) on Windows allows an attacker with network access to execute restricted management commands.
An attacker that has already gained network access could exploit this vulnerability to retrieve authenticated usernames and group memberships from the Single Sign-On Agent or tamper with the agent configuration. This vulnerability cannot be used by an attacker to gain access to user credentials.
An incorrect authorization vulnerability in the protocol communication between the WatchGuard Authentication Gateway (aka Single Sign-On Agent) on Windows and the WatchGuard Single Sign-On Client on Windows and MacOS allows an attacker with network access to forge communications to affected components.
In the event an attacker has already gained network access, they could exploit this vulnerability to retrieve authenticated usernames and group memberships from the Single Sign-On Agent or send arbitrary account and group information to the Single Sign-On Agent for their host. This vulnerability cannot be used by an attacker to gain access to user credentials.
Improper authentication in the WatchGuard Agent allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to cause the agent to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
A type confusion vulnerability in the iked process of WatchGuard Fireware OS allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
WatchGuard Dimension records unredacted session identifiers for logged-in users in its web UI diagnostic log. A low-privileged Dimension Administrator can retrieve this log and extract a Super Administrator's session token while that administrator is logged in, enabling account takeover.
Buffer overflow in WGagent in WatchGuard WSM and Fireware before 11.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long sessionid value in a cookie.
WatchGuard Fireware OS contains a race condition leading to a use-after-free vulnerability in LDAP authentication for the Mobile User VPN with IKEv2. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the iked process on Fireboxes that have a Mobile VPN with IKEv2 configured to use an external LDAP authentication server.
WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to delete arbitrary files from a limited set of directories on the system. This vulnerability impacts Fireware OS before 12.7.2U2, 12.x before 12.1.3U8, and 12.2.x through 12.5.x before 12.5.9U2.
An issue was discovered on WatchGuard AP100, AP102, and AP200 devices with firmware before 1.2.9.15, and AP300 devices with firmware before 2.0.0.10. File upload functionality allows any users authenticated on the web interface to upload files containing code to the web root, allowing these files to be executed as root.
An authenticated admin user with access to both the management WebUI and command line interface on a Firebox can enable a diagnostic debug shell by uploading a platform and version-specific diagnostic package and executing a leftover diagnostic command.
WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances allow a remote attacker with unprivileged credentials to access the system with a privileged management session via exposed management access.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Hexis HawkEye G 3.0.1.4912 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) add arbitrary accounts via the name parameter to interface/rest/accounts/json; turn off the (2) Url matching, (3) DNS Inject, or (4) IP Redirect Sensor in a request to interface/rest/dpi/setEnabled/1; or (5) perform whitelisting of malware MD5 hash IDs via the id parameter to interface/rest/md5-threats/whitelist.
An integer overflow in WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances allows an authenticated remote attacker to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code by initiating a firmware update with a malicious upgrade image.
