DescriptionCVE.org

An unauthenticated command injection vulnerability was identified in the GMS Dispatcher Service in GMS 9.5.1 and earlier versions which allows remote attacker to perform remote code execution through specially crafted requests.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in SonicWall Global Management System (GMS) 9.5.1 and earlier is possible through an unauthenticated command injection flaw in the GMS Dispatcher Service, letting remote attackers run arbitrary operating-system commands on the management server via specially crafted requests. Because GMS centrally administers fleets of SonicWall firewalls, a compromise cascades into control over every managed appliance. …

Impact
Pivot to control managed SonicWall firewalls

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the GMS Dispatcher Service on a GMS instance running version 9.5.1 or earlier; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special product configuration are required against an exposed Dispatcher Service. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals mostly align toward high priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, and SSVC records Technical Impact as 'total,' consistent with full RCE. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach the GMS management server over the network sends a specially crafted request to the Dispatcher Service that embeds shell metacharacters or an injected command, which the service executes on the underlying host without requiring authentication. With code execution on the central management platform, the attacker can pivot to reconfigure or push changes to every SonicWall firewall the GMS instance manages. …
Remediation Consult SonicWall PSIRT advisory SNWLID-2026-0011 (https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0011) and upgrade GMS to the fixed release identified there; no exact fixed version was included in the provided intelligence, so treat the advisory as the authoritative source for the target build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: isolate GMS instances on segmented networks and implement strict access controls limiting Dispatcher Service connectivity to trusted administrator IPs only. …
