An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-14616 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Watchguard Fireware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14616/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14616/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14616","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14616/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14616","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2qcw-856x-wxvp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WatchGuard Fireware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can crash the wgagent via malformed XML-RPC requests, causing denial of service for UI management on WatchGuard Fireware devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"fireware","vendor":"watchguard"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"An FBX-5312 issue was discovered in WatchGuard Fireware before 12.0.
