description

WatchGuard Fireware OS is affected by a code-injection flaw in BOVPN Over TLS client configuration handling. An attacker controlling the remote VPN server can execute commands as root on a connecting Firebox; the Firebox must be configured to connect to that attacker-controlled server.

mitigation

Upgrade Fireware OS to 2026.3.2, 2026.2.3, 12.12.3, or 12.5.21, as applicable. Until upgraded, avoid connecting BOVPN Over TLS clients to untrusted or potentially compromised remote VPN servers.

fixed in 2026.3.2, 2026.2.3, 12.12.3, 12.5.21
