CVE-2026-93865: Fireware OS Missing Authentication in FireCluster Sync Daemon Allows Remote Root Action Injection

CriticalCVSS 9.2 · v4.0—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.46% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A missing authentication vulnerability in the Fireware OS FireCluster synchronization daemon allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to invoke privileged system-level administrative actions by sending a specially crafted request to the FireCluster management IP when the clustering feature is enabled.
