An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-13728 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-2026-13728/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13728/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-13728","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13728/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-13728","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jw2p-m8jh-c458"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Firewall OS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can decrypt saved Access Portal credentials on clustered WatchGuard Fireboxes using a hard-coded key, exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WatchGuard","cpe":[{"product":"fireware","vendor":"watchguard"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"In exception circumstances, WatchGuard Fireware OS on a FireCluster may use a hard-coded encryption key to encrypt saved credentials for Access Portal resources.\n\nThis vulnerability does not affect devices that do not support the Access Portal feature or standalone Fireboxes not deployed in a FireCluster.","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 Firebox Hardcoded Fallback Encryption Key in Access Portal Resource Credential Database","id":"CVE-2026-13728","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"watchguard:fireware","products":["watchguard:fireware"],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Podlove Podcast Publisher \u003c 4.5.3 - Podcast Contributor/Group/Role Creation and Deletion via CSRF","id":"CVE-2026-13729"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Multiple Page Generator Plugin – MPG \u003c 4.1.8 - Reflected XSS via mpg_shortcode","id":"CVE-2026-13726"},"products":["Fireware OS"],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-27","vendors":["WatchGuard"]},"summary":"Attackers can decrypt saved Access Portal credentials on clustered WatchGuard Fireboxes using a hard-coded key, exposing sensitive data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-13728/"}
