Title
Dimension Log Server Configuration Lock Bypass Vulnerability
Summary
WatchGuard Dimension provides a client-side lock/unlock UI control for management changes. The server-side configuration endpoint does not enforce this lock/unlock workflow state, allowing an authenticated administrator to submit configuration changes directly to the endpoint without first completing the UI unlock step. This allows an authenticated read-write administrator session to bypass the intended editing workflow and overwrite configuration changes being made by another concurrent administrator session.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
