Unauthenticated OS command execution via unsafe deserialization
Published Jan 23, 2025 · Updated Aug 4, 2026
Deserialization in SonicWall SMA 1000 AMC and CMC 12.4.3-02804 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands. The consoles deserialize attacker-controlled data before authentication, but SonicWall has not disclosed the request path or unsafe deserializer. Administrative-console access on its configured port, 8443 by default, is required; successful exploitation runs commands on the appliance.
