CISA: WatchGuard RCE flaw now exploited in ransomware attacks

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed that ransomware groups are actively exploiting a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in WatchGuard Firebox firewalls. The flaw was previously flagged by CISA as under active exploitation.

Why it matters: Organizations running WatchGuard Firebox firewalls face immediate risk from ransomware gangs actively weaponizing this RCE flaw, requiring urgent patching and monitoring.
