Summary

A security vulnerability exists in WatchGuard AP100, AP102, and AP200 devices due to improper validation of the 'old password' field in the password change form. This flaw enables unauthorized users to bypass the intended password validation, potentially allowing an attacker to change the password and gain access to device configurations. Devices with firmware versions below 1.2.9.15 for AP100, AP102, and AP200 and before 2.0.0.10 for AP300 are specifically affected, which raises significant security concerns for network integrity.
