Details
A vulnerability was found in WatchGuard Dimension up to 2.3.0. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component Server-Side Configuration Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a privileges management vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-269. The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. As an impact it is known to affect integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
WatchGuard Dimension provides a client-side lock/unlock UI control for management changes. The server-side configuration endpoint does not enforce this lock/unlock workflow state, allowing an authenticated administrator to submit configuration changes directly to the endpoint without first completing the UI unlock step. This allows an authenticated read-write administrator session to bypass the intended editing workflow and overwrite configuration changes being made by another concurrent administrator session.
The advisory is shared at psirt.watchguard.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-78103 since 08/22/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely.
