Execution Order Flaw in Firewall during System Shutdown Exposes Critical Services

CVE-2026-44108

What is CVE-2026-44108?

A vulnerability arises from a flaw in the execution order of scripts during the shutdown process of a firewall. This defect results in the premature termination of the firewall, creating a temporary window where internal services may become exposed to external access. In this state, an unauthenticated remote attacker could potentially connect to these services, leading to a risk of full system compromise. Organizations must be vigilant in monitoring their firewall configurations and ensure timely updates to mitigate such threats.
