CVE-2026-90441: WatchGuard Fireware OS missing authorization in wgagent management API

CVE-2026-90441 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-30

WatchGuard Fireware OS, which powers the company's network security appliances, contains a missing authorization flaw in its wgagent management daemon. An authenticated user with minimal privileges—such as a read-only or guest admin account—can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted API request to crash the security service or read sensitive files.

Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the wgagent session initialization function fails to properly enforce access controls on management API endpoints. An authenticated, low-privileged user can submit a specially crafted request to trigger denial of service (resource exhaustion/uncontrolled consumption) or arbitrary file read. The vulnerability requires valid authentication credentials but does not require elevated privileges, making it accessible to read-only or guest administrator accounts.
