It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-13043 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WatchGuard Endpoint Security. 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-2026-13043/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13043/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-13043","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13043/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-13043","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-33g3-qcrh-xvc2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Security Driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can bypass authentication in the WatchGuard Endpoint Security kernel driver to read arbitrary kernel and process memory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WatchGuard","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"watchguard"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"A missing authentication vulnerability in the Kernel Memory Access Driver (PSKMAD) used by WatchGuard endpoint security products allows a local, authenticated attacker to bypass the driver's access-control handshake and issue arbitrary privileged commands to the driver, resulting in disclosure of kernel and process memory.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-07","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":3,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-07T10:31:13Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/TheMalwareGuardian/CVE-2026-13043","stars":3,"title":"CVE-2026-13043 - Exploiting Panda / WatchGuard pskmad.sys authentication bypass for privileged IOCTL access, MSR disclosure and arbitrary process memory reads."}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in Endpoint Security","id":"CVE-2026-13043","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Fireware OS Deserialization of Untrusted Data in samld Allows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-13046"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"RPB Chessboard \u003c= 8.1.2 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content","id":"CVE-2026-13042"},"products":["Endpoint Security"],"published":"2026-10-01","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-01","vendors":["WatchGuard"]},"summary":"A local attacker can bypass authentication in the WatchGuard Endpoint Security kernel driver to read arbitrary kernel and process memory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13043/"}
