SonicWall SonicOS SSL VPN: format-string flaw lets unauthenticated attackers disrupt the service

CVSS 9.8CVE-2025-40600Firmware, BMC & network fabriccurated

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker can send input that is used as a format string in the SSL VPN interface and disrupt the service. The description only claims a denial of service, although NVD scores it 9.8. If the firewall carries remote or out-of-band access to the cluster, operators lose that path while the service is down. The record does not establish code execution.

Who can reach it

Remote and unauthenticated, from anyone who can reach the SSL VPN interface.

What to do

Apply the fixed SonicOS firmware listed in SNWLID-2025-0013. That is a firewall firmware upgrade and reboot, or a failover to an HA peer. Until then, limit SSL VPN exposure to trusted source addresses or disable it.
