An improper authorization vulnerability in Fireware OS's Access Portal reverse proxy allows an authenticated, low-privileged Access Portal user to access other web applications they are not authorized for by sending a specially crafted request for a different resource which they are authorized to access.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in the WatchGuard Fireware OS Access Portal reverse proxy lets an authenticated, low-privileged portal user reach back-end web applications they are not entitled to by sending a specially crafted request for a resource they are authorized to access. Exploitation requires valid Access Portal credentials, the SSL clientless portal to be enabled and reachable, and a specific crafted-request condition (CVSS 4.0 AT:P), so this is a genuine but bounded access-control flaw rather than a pre-auth compromise path. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated, low-privileged account on the WatchGuard Fireware OS Access Portal (the SSL/clientless reverse-proxy portal must be enabled and reachable). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but bounded access-control flaw, not a critical-but-inflated finding. … 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 | There is no exact fix version in the available data - no vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis - so the WatchGuard PSIRT advisory at https://psirt.watchguard.com/CVE-2026-86105 must be treated as the authoritative source for the patched Fireware OS release, and upgrading to that release is the primary fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
