3DescriptionCVE.org
An heap overflow vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in WatchGuard Fireware OS is possible via a heap overflow (CWE-122) in the iked (IKE/IPsec key management) process, letting a remote unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic to an affected Firebox firewall. The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3 (critical), reflecting network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The affected iked process must be reachable, which in practice means the Firebox has IPsec/IKE VPN services enabled and exposed on the attacker's network path (typically internet-facing UDP/500 and UDP/4500). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals converge on genuine high priority rather than an inflated CVSS. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the WatchGuard-provided Fireware OS update as the primary fix; consult the vendor advisory at https://psirt.watchguard.com/CVE-2026-19313 for the exact patched build (Patch available per vendor advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Conduct inventory of all WatchGuard Firebox appliances, document firmware versions, and assess exposure to untrusted networks. …
