WatchGuard has disclosed a critical out-of-bounds write vulnerability in its Fireware OS, enabling remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via IKEv2 VPN connections.

Designated CVE-2025-9242 under advisory WGSA-2025-00015, the flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3, highlighting its potential for high-impact exploitation on Firebox appliances.

Published on September 17, 2025, and updated two days later, this issue affects versions from 11.10.2 to 11.12.4_Update1, 12.0 to 12.11.3, and 2025.1, exposing thousands of small and midsize enterprises to risks like full system compromise.

WatchGuard, which secures over 250,000 organizations and 10 million endpoints, urges immediate patching to mitigate threats from ransomware or other malicious actors targeting perimeter defenses.

The vulnerability resides in the IKE process of Fireware OS, which handles IKEv2 negotiations for mobile users and branch office VPNs configured with dynamic gateway peers.

WatchGuard VPN Vulnerability

An attacker can send crafted IKE_SA_INIT and IKE_SA_AUTH packets to trigger an out-of-bounds write in the ike2_ProcessPayload_CERT function, where attacker-controlled identification data overflows a 520-byte stack buffer without sufficient bounds checking.

Even deleted VPN configurations may leave residual vulnerabilities if static peers remain active, allowing pre-authentication access over UDP port 500.

Security researchers at WatchTowr Labs, crediting btaol for discovery, reverse-engineered the code through patch diffing between vulnerable 12.11.3 and patched 12.11.4 versions, revealing a simple length check addition as the fix.

This stack-based buffer overflow, a primitive dating back to 1996, persists in 2025 enterprise gear lacking modern mitigations like PIE or stack canaries, though NX is enabled.

Exploiting CVE-2025-9242 involves fingerprinting the firmware version via a custom Vendor ID payload in IKE_SA_INIT responses, which embeds base64-encoded details like “VN=12.11.3 BN=719894” for easy identification.

Attackers then negotiate transforms such as AES-256 and Diffie-Hellman Group 14 before sending an oversized identification payload in IKE_SA_AUTH to corrupt registers and hijack control flow, leading to a segmentation fault or ROP chain.

WatchTowr demonstrated remote code execution by chaining gadgets to invoke mprotect for stack execution, deploying reverse TCP shellcode that spawns a root Python interpreter, potentially enabling filesystem remounts or BusyBox downloads for full shell access.

Firebox devices, often the internet-facing boundary, amplify risks; a breach could pivot to internal networks, data exfiltration, or persistent backdoors in environments without robust segmentation.

Mitigations

WatchGuard has resolved the issue in updated releases: 2025.1.1 for the 2025 branch, 12.11.4 for 12.x, 12.5.13 for T15/T35 models, and 12.3.1_Update3 for FIPS-certified 12.3.1, with 11.x now end-of-life.

Affected products span Firebox families, including T20 to M690 series, Cloud, and NV5/V models.

As a temporary workaround, organizations should secure IPSec/IKEv2 branch office VPNs per WatchGuard’s KB article on access controls, disabling unnecessary IKEv2 if possible.

No in-the-wild exploits are confirmed yet, but the unauthenticated nature and detailed public analysis heighten urgency; users must monitor logs for anomalous IKE traffic and apply patches promptly to safeguard VPN concentrators serving as critical gateways.

A vulnerability in Microsoft’s newly implemented Rust-based kernel component for the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) in Windows.

This flaw, which could trigger a system-wide crash via a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), highlights the challenges of integrating memory-safe languages into critical OS components.

Although Microsoft classified it as moderate severity, the issue underscores potential risks in enterprise environments where attackers might weaponize it for widespread disruption.

The vulnerability emerged during a targeted fuzzing campaign by Check Point, aimed at probing Windows’ graphics subsystem for weaknesses. Fuzzing, a technique that bombards software with malformed inputs to expose bugs, proved instrumental here.

Using tools like WinAFL and WinAFL Pet on a controlled test setup, researchers focused on the Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) and EMF+ files’ compact structures that instruct GDI on rendering 2D graphics.

These files, often embedded in documents or images, have long been a vector for exploits due to their complexity.

Starting with just 16 seed files, the fuzzers quickly unearthed crashes ranging from information leaks to code execution risks in user-space components.

But the real breakthrough came unexpectedly: repeated system restarts after BugChecks pointed to a kernel-level issue. Dubbed a “Denial of Fuzzing” condition, it halted testing and forced a pivot to kernel forensics.

Windows Rust-based Kernel GDI Vulnerability

To isolate the culprit, Check Point enhanced its setup with memory dump analysis using MemProcFS and Volatility, extracting mutated files from RAM disks.

They refined the corpus iteratively, shrinking reproduction time from days to 30 minutes across 836 samples.

A clever harness modification streamed mutations to a remote server via a custom C function and Python listener, capturing the precise 380,000th mutation that triggered the crash.

Deep analysis revealed the bug in win32kbase_rs.sys, Microsoft’s Rust-rewritten driver for GDI regions.

During path-to-region conversion in NtGdiSelectClipPath, an out-of-bounds array access in region_from_path_mut() invoked Rust’s panic_bounds_check(), causing a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.

Service Exception
Service Exception

The trigger? A malformed EmfPlusDrawBeziers record with mismatched point counts (17 points declared as 4) and anomalous coordinates, combined with a wide-stroke pen from an EmfPlusObject.

This malformed geometry stressed edge block handling, bypassing bounds in the singly linked list representation.

A simple PowerShell proof-of-concept demonstrated the exploit’s accessibility: embedding the crafted metafile in a Graphics object via System.Drawing led to an instant BSOD, even from low-privilege sessions on x86/x64 Windows 11 24H2.

While not enabling remote code execution directly, it posed a potent denial-of-service threat imagine an insider scripting crashes across an enterprise on a Friday evening.

Microsoft patched the flaw in OS Build 26100.4202 via the KB5058499 preview on May 28, 2025, expanding the driver by 16KB with hardened logic.

Key changes included dual edge-handling routines add_edge_original() and a bounds-checked add_edge_new(), gated by a feature flag. Full rollout followed in June, though initial testing showed the flag disabled.

Check Point reported the issue promptly, but Microsoft’s MSRC deemed it a non-critical DoS, arguing Rust’s panic mechanism behaved as designed.

This marks one of the first public Rust kernel bugs post-integration, as touted at BlueHat IL 2023 for enhancing security. While Rust mitigates overflows, it doesn’t eliminate design flaws or incomplete testing.

As Windows leans into memory safety, such incidents remind developers: language alone isn’t a panacea. Thorough fuzzing and validation remain vital to prevent “alarm systems that blow up the house.”

Security researchers at Cisco Talos have confirmed that ransomware operators are actively exploiting Velociraptor, an open-source digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) tool, in their attacks.

This marks the first definitive link between a legitimate security tool and a ransomware incident. The campaign, which deployed three separate ransomware strains, is attributed with moderate confidence to the threat actor Storm-2603.

The attack severely impacted the victim’s IT environment, encrypting VMware ESXi virtual machines and Windows servers using Warlock, LockBit, and Babuk ransomware.

Ransom Note
Ransom Note

Legitimate Tool Weaponized

Velociraptor is designed for security teams to perform endpoint monitoring and data collection, but in this campaign, it played a key role in helping the attackers maintain stealthy, persistent access.

After gaining initial entry, the threat actors installed an outdated version of Velociraptor (0.73.4.0), which is vulnerable to a privilege escalation flaw tracked as CVE-2025-6264.

This vulnerability can lead to arbitrary command execution and a complete takeover of the affected endpoint. The actors used this foothold to deploy LockBit and Babuk ransomware while remaining undetected.

This abuse of trusted security products aligns with a broader trend observed by Talos, where attackers increasingly leverage commercial and open-source tools to achieve their objectives.

Cisco Talos attributes this activity to Storm-2603, a suspected China-based group first identified in July 2025, exploiting SharePoint vulnerabilities known as ToolShell. The attribution is based on significant overlaps in tools and tactics.

Storm-2603 is known for deploying both Warlock and LockBit ransomware in the same attack, and while LockBit is common, the use of Warlock is a strong indicator, as it has been heavily used by this group since it appeared in June 2025.

The deployment of three distinct ransomware variants, Warlock, LockBit, and Babuk, in a single engagement is highly unusual and strengthens the connection to Storm-2603. However, the group had not previously been seen using Babuk, the combination of TTPs points in their direction.

A Multi-faceted Attack Chain

The attack, first detected in mid-August 2025, involved a sophisticated chain of events. After gaining what was likely initial access through the ToolShell exploit, the actor escalated privileges by creating new admin accounts and syncing them to Entra ID.

They used these accounts to access the VMware vSphere console, ensuring persistent control over the virtual environment.

To impair defenses, the attackers modified Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to disable Microsoft Defender’s real-time protection and behavior monitoring.

A fileless PowerShell script carried out the final encryption on Windows machines, while a Linux binary of the Babuk encryptor targeted ESXi servers.

The attack also featured a double extortion component, with the actors using a custom PowerShell script to exfiltrate sensitive data before encryption, employing techniques to evade detection like suppressing progress indicators and using sleep commands to inhibit analysis.

A cybercrime collective known as Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters has launched a new data leak site on the dark web, claiming it holds nearly one billion records from Salesforce customers.

The group is orchestrating a widespread blackmail campaign, setting a ransom deadline of October 10, 2025. They have threatened to publish sensitive data and technical details if their demands are not met.

The threat actors allege that significant security lapses at Salesforce, including inadequate two-factor authentication (2FA) and OAuth protections, enabled them to compromise over 100 Salesforce instances.

Their new onion site lists numerous high-profile companies as victims of the data theft, including Toyota Motor Corporation, FedEx, UPS, Adidas, Disney/Hulu, and McDonald’s.

Other prominent names listed are Qantas, Aeroméxico, Vietnam Airlines, Stellantis, IKEA, KFC, GAP, and the educational platform Canvas by Instructure.

Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Listings

Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters is not a new entity but rather a coalition of members from some of the most infamous hacking groups, including ShinyHunters, Scattered Spider, and Lapsus$.

This alliance has been linked to a series of major cyberattacks throughout 2025, with a particular focus on Salesforce environments. The group’s formation represents a “trinity of chaos,” combining different skill sets to execute complex intrusion campaigns.

A blend of sophisticated social engineering and technical exploitation characterizes their methods. Attackers have been observed using voice phishing (vishing) campaigns, where they impersonate IT support staff in phone calls to trick employees.

During these calls, victims are guided to authorize a malicious application, which captures OAuth tokens. These tokens grant the attackers persistent access to the company’s Salesforce environment, effectively bypassing multi-factor authentication controls and allowing for the mass exfiltration of CRM data.

The Salesforce campaign highlights a strategic evolution in cybercrime tactics. Instead of relying on traditional ransomware that encrypts files, groups like Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters are focusing on data theft and extortion.

The leverage is not the disruption of systems but the public exposure of stolen data, which can lead to customer backlash, regulatory fines, and severe reputational damage.

In mid-2025, actors associated with this collective claimed to have stolen 1.5 billion Salesforce records from 760 companies by compromising OAuth tokens linked to third-party integrations like Salesloft and Drift.

The attackers often release fragments of the stolen data as proof, holding back the full dataset to maximize pressure during negotiations.

This incident follows a pattern seen in earlier 2025 attacks on companies like Google, Jaguar Land Rover, and LVMH, where the same collective claimed responsibility.

Despite a recent “farewell letter” announcing their distribution, security experts believe the group has simply rebranded, and the threat of large-scale data leaks remains significant.
