This vulnerability involves a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the WatchGuard Agent discovery service running on Windows platforms. An attacker without authentication but located on the same local network can exploit this flaw to overflow buffers, leading to a crash of the agent service. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction, resulting in high impact on availability.
