Description
An Insecure Deserialization vulnerability in WatchGuard Fireware OS allows an attacker that has obtained write access to the local filesystem through another vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the portald user.This issue affects Fireware OS: 12.1 through 12.11.8 and 2025.1 through 2026.1.2. Note, this vulnerability does not affect Firebox platforms that do not support the Access Portal feature, including the T-15 and T-35.
Analysis
Insecure deserialization in WatchGuard Fireware OS enables local code execution as the portald user when combined with a filesystem write primitive. Affects Fireware OS versions 12.1 through 12.11.8 and 2025.1 through 2026.1.2 on platforms supporting Access Portal (excludes T-15/T-35 models). …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all WatchGuard Fireware OS appliances in your environment using affected versions (12.1-12.11.8, 2025.1-2026.1.2) and confirm Access Portal is enabled; document which models are T-15/T-35 (unaffected). Within 7 days: Restrict local administrative access and SSH/console access to WatchGuard appliances to authorized personnel only; disable unnecessary local accounts and apply principle of least privilege. …
