CVE-2026-78008
HighCVSS 8.6Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk30th percentile - higher than 30% of all known CVEs
Summary
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS Management Web UI allows an authenticated administrator with network access to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
Risk Assessment
Exploitation could lead to device compromise or disruption of management operations, posing a serious threat to infrastructure security.
Recommendation
Restrict access to the management interface to trusted administrators only and apply security updates from the vendor.
Other vulnerabilities in WatchGuard Fireware OS
See all- CVE-2026-93866Critical
An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the WebSocket connection handling used by WatchGuard Fireware OS's Access Portal. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can write beyond the bounds of a heap buffer by sending a specially crafted request while the Access Portal feature is enabled.
- CVE-2026-93865Critical
A missing authentication vulnerability exists in the Fireware OS FireCluster synchronization daemon. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can invoke privileged system-level administrative actions by sending a specially crafted request to the FireCluster management IP when the clustering feature is enabled.
- CVE-2026-93857Critical
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Fireware OS's SIP proxy. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted request through a policy that uses the SIP proxy.
- CVE-2026-90465Critical
A missing authentication vulnerability exists in FireCluster Sync processing. An attacker positioned on the cluster interconnect, such as a compromised cluster peer or an on-path network attacker, can invoke privileged firewall management actions as root by sending a specially crafted request.
- CVE-2026-112710Critical
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Fireware OS authentication service. An attacker who controls or intercepts traffic to the configured Active Directory server can create a denial of service condition and potentially execute arbitrary code by returning a specially crafted response.
- CVE-2026-112709Critical
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Fireware OS authentication service. An attacker who controls or intercepts traffic to the configured Active Directory server can create a denial of service condition and potentially execute arbitrary code by returning a specially crafted response.
- CVE-2026-103594Critical
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Fireware OS's WireGuard configuration processing. A remote attacker with man-in-the-middle TLS-decrypted access between the Firebox and WatchGuard Cloud can create a denial of service condition and potentially execute arbitrary code by tampering with a FireCloud Gateway configuration payload.
- CVE-2026-86131Critical
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-2026-19318Critical
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.
- 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.
