Summary
A stack-based buffer overflow in the iked process of WatchGuard Fireware OS allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely take control of the device, potentially leading to full network compromise.
Recommendation
Apply WatchGuard patches immediately and restrict access to network services.

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.
- CVE-2026-19315Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-19313Critical
A heap overflow vulnerability in the iked process of WatchGuard Fireware OS allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
- CVE-2026-13086Critical
A stack-based buffer overflow in the epm (Endpoint Protection Manager) service used by the deprecated Mobile Security feature in WatchGuard Fireware OS allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2025-14733CriticalActively exploited
An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. It affects both mobile user VPN with IKEv2 and branch office VPN using IKEv2 when configured with a dynamic gateway peer. Even after deleting those configurations, if a branch office VPN to a static gateway peer remains, the Firebox may still be vulnerable.
- CVE-2025-9242CriticalActively exploited
Out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the iked process of WatchGuard Fireware OS. A remote unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code. Affects mobile user VPN with IKEv2 and branch office VPN using IKEv2 when configured with a dynamic gateway peer. If configurations were deleted but a branch office VPN to a static peer remains, the device may still be vulnerable.
- CVE-2022-26318CriticalActively exploited
On WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances, an unauthenticated user can execute arbitrary code, aka FBX-22786. This vulnerability impacts Fireware OS before 12.7.2_U2, 12.x before 12.1.3_U8, and 12.2.x through 12.5.x before 12.5.9_U2.
- CVE-2026-86134High
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.
- CVE-2026-86133High
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.
- CVE-2026-86132High
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.
