CVE-2025-14733: Watch Guard Firebox Out of Bounds Write Vulnerability
Summary: CVE-2025-14733 is an out of bounds write vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process that may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. It affects both the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 and the branch office VPN using IKEv2 when configured with a dynamic gateway peer, and CISA lists it as known to be used in ransomware campaigns with a remediation due date of 2025-12-26.
Key Takeaway: This flaw is reachable by an unauthenticated attacker over IKEv2 and is already tied to ransomware use, so any Firebox running a VPN with a dynamic gateway peer is exposed before authentication even enters the picture.
