WatchGuard discloses seven critical Fireware OS flaws enabling remote code execution
Supplied data names Fireware OS 2026.4 and 12.12.4 as fixes; this report does not establish exploitation.
Missing authentication in Fireware OS FireCluster sync daemon
The Fireware OS FireCluster synchronization daemon does not require authentication. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who can reach the FireCluster management IP can send a crafted request and invoke privileged system-level administrative actions. The issue applies only when clustering is enabled. No affected or fixed builds are listed.
What to do: No fixed version is stated. The flaw applies only when FireCluster is enabled and its management IP accepts remote requests.
