CVE-2026-95676: WatchGuard AuthPoint Gateway authentication bypass in LDAP Sync

CVE-2026-95676 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-23

WatchGuard AuthPoint Gateway is an authentication service that protects corporate networks by verifying user identities. A flaw in its LDAP synchronization feature allows remote attackers to bypass the first-factor password check under specific non-default configurations. However, additional security factors (such as multi-factor authentication) still protect the account, limiting the immediate risk.
