CVE-2026-19313 is a pre-authentication heap-based buffer overflow in the WatchGuard Fireware OS IKE daemon (iked). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted VPN/IKE network traffic to trigger the overflow, crash the daemon, and potentially execute arbitrary code. The published CVSS v4 vector indicates network attackability, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system.
