The CVE record's CNA (WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.) lists WatchGuard Agent versions before 1.25.13.0000 as affected. No release containing a fix is confirmed on record.

A path traversal vulnerability in WatchGuard Agent allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.

EG Risk 42/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

How it’s computed (value × EchelonGraph’s weight)

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures).

Frequently asked(5)

What is CVE-2026-57909?
CVE-2026-57909 is a critical-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on August 25, 2026. A path traversal vulnerability in WatchGuard Agent allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.
When was CVE-2026-57909 made public?
CVE-2026-57909 was made public on August 25, 2026: that is the date its CVE record's CNA, WatchGuard Technologies, Inc., gives for when the vulnerability was made public. The CVE record itself was published on August 25, 2026. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of September 28, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2026-57909 actively exploited?
CVE-2026-57909 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (35th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2026-57909?
CVE-2026-57909 has a CVSS base score of 9.4 (a secondary CVSS source that NVD displays; NVD's own analysis pending).
How do I remediate CVE-2026-57909?
No fix for CVE-2026-57909 is confirmed yet. Until one is published, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation — for example, keep it off the internet or limit it to trusted networks — and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix. The CVE record's CNA (WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.) lists WatchGuard Agent versions before 1.25.13.0000 as affected. No release containing a fix is confirmed on record. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2026-57909 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
