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-2026-13079 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-2026-13079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-13079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13079/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-13079","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qgpj-9w2h-pcv3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WatchGuard VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM on machines running the WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL Windows client.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WatchGuard","cpe":[{"product":"fireware","vendor":"watchguard"},{"product":"mobile_vpn_with_ssl","vendor":"watchguard"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL client for Windows allows a local attacker to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM on the machine where the client is installed.\n\nThis issue affects the Mobile VPN with SSL client for Windows up to and including 2026.2.","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":"WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL Windows Client Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-13079","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"watchguard:fireware","products":["watchguard:fireware"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WPFunnels \u003c= 3.12.7 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Local File Inclusion via 'logKey' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-13080"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Local File Disclosure in MongoDB Server via MozJS Scripting Engine Module Loader","id":"CVE-2026-13078"},"products":["Mobile VPN with SSL Client"],"published":"2026-07-02","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":"2026-08-27","vendors":["WatchGuard"]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM on machines running the WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL Windows client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13079/"}
