SonicWall warned users to patch a SMA1000 AMC flaw that was exploited as a zero-day privilege escalation vulnerability in attacks.

SonicWall urged customers to address a vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-40602, in the SMA1000 Appliance Management Console that was exploited as a zero-day in attacks in the wild.

The flaw is a local privilege escalation issue which is due to insufficient authorization in the SonicWall SMA1000 appliance management console (AMC).

“A local privilege escalation vulnerability due to insufficient authorization in the SonicWall SMA1000 appliance management console (AMC).” reads the advisory published by the company. “Please note that SonicWall Firewall products are not affected by this vulnerability.”

The vendor warned customers that the vulnerability was chained with CVE-2025-23006 (CVSS score 9.8) in zero-day attacks to escalate privileges. Sonicwall has not disclosed details about the attacks that exploited the flaw as a zero-day, nor the attackers’ motivations.

“This vulnerability was reported to be leveraged in combination with CVE-2025-23006 (CVSS score 9.8) to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution with root privileges. CVE-2025-23006 was remediated in build version 12.4.3-02854 (platform-hotfix) and higher versions (released on Jan 22, 2025).” continues the advisory. “SonicWall PSIRT strongly advises users of the SMA1000 product to upgrade to the latest hotfix release version to address the vulnerability.”

The company addressed the vulnerability CVE-2025-23006 in January 2025 with the release of version 12.4.3-02854 (platform-hotfix). In late January, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a SonicWall SMA1000 Appliance Management Console (AMC) and Central Management Console (CMC) vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-23006 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

Clément Lecigne and Zander Work of the Google Threat Intelligence Group reported the vulnerability.
