An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-5974 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-2024-5974/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5974/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-5974","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5974/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-5974","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qqv6-xcxx-rcc7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WatchGuard Fireware OS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker with privileged access can execute arbitrary code with system privileges via a buffer overflow in WatchGuard Fireware OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WatchGuard","cpe":[{"product":"fireware","vendor":"watchguard"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"A buffer overflow in WatchGuard Fireware OS could may allow an authenticated remote attacker with privileged management access to execute arbitrary code with system privileges on the firewall.\nThis issue affects Fireware OS: from 11.9.6 through 12.10.3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Firebox Authenticated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-5974","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"watchguard:fireware","products":["watchguard:fireware"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"CZ Loan Management \u003c= 1.1 - Unauthenticated SQLi","id":"CVE-2024-5975"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"MasterStudy LMS \u003c 3.3.24 - Privilege Escalation to Instructor","id":"CVE-2024-5973"},"products":["Fireware OS"],"published":"2024-07-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox and XTM Appliances Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-26318","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2022-03-04"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox Out of Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2025-14733","kev_date_added":"2025-12-19","published":"2025-12-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2025-9242","kev_date_added":"2025-11-12","published":"2025-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WatchGuard Firebox and XTM Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-23176","kev_date_added":"2022-04-11","published":"2022-02-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-31789","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-6021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-10-19"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fireware OS Code Injection in BOVPN Over TLS Client Allows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-86131","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-07","vendors":["WatchGuard"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker with privileged access can execute arbitrary code with system privileges via a buffer overflow in WatchGuard Fireware OS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5974/"}
