SecurityWeek · By Eduard Kovacs ·

The Brief · written from 3 sources

  • SonicWall released security updates fixing seven vulnerabilities in SonicOS firewalls.
  • CVE-2026-19868 is an SSL-VPN authentication bypass that lets attackers holding credentials for a different login method get past SAML checks, including SAML-enforced MFA.
  • CVE-2026-19868 has a CVSS score of 7.5 and is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Why it matters

SonicOS SSL-VPN is often exposed to the internet, and this flaw weakens MFA-protected VPN logins for organisations that rely on SAML. Since the flaw is already exploited, unpatched firewalls are at active risk.

Who’s affected

  • Organisations running SonicWall SonicOS firewalls with SSL-VPN
  • Teams relying on SAML-enforced MFA for VPN access

What to do

  1. Apply the SonicOS security updates from SonicWall that fix CVE-2026-19868 and the other six flaws.
  2. Review VPN login logs for signs of SAML or MFA bypass activity.
