Description

WatchGuard Firebox SOHO contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to remotely change the administrative password. The issue is due to a flaw in the authentication mechanism of the device, which allows a blank unauthenticated request to the /passcfg object. Such a request will reset the password to an empty field allowing the attacker to use any administrative options without having to provide authentication credentials.
