CVE-2026-13086 is a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability in the Endpoint Protection Manager (epm) service associated with the deprecated Mobile Security feature in WatchGuard Fireware OS. The service processes remotely reachable input without adequate bounds checking, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite stack memory and execute arbitrary code. The epm service runs as root; reported build characteristics, including the absence of stack-canary protection and position-independent execution, may make reliable exploitation easier.
