What is CVE-2026-57907?

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in WatchGuard Endpoint Protection's inter-process communication framework. This flaw allows a local, low-privileged authenticated user to escalate their privileges by injecting malicious code into the trusted console process, which can lead to executing arbitrary commands with SYSTEM-level privileges. This poses significant risks as it enables unauthorized control over the protection service, potentially leading to severe security breaches.
