CVE-2026-15410: SonicWall SMA1000 Post-Auth Code Injection to Root Commands (KEV)

Last updated:
  • CVE-2026-15410

CVE-2026-15410 is a post-authentication code-injection flaw in the SonicWall SMA1000 appliance management console that lets an administrator-level session run arbitrary OS commands, and it was weaponized in the wild as the second step of a chain starting from the unauthenticated SSRF CVE-2026-15409, discovered during a Rapid7 MDR investigation.

What this means

CVE-2026-15410 is a CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) vulnerability in the SonicWall SMA1000 Appliance Management Console. NVD's description states the flaw is a "post-authentication code injection" issue that lets "an authenticated administrator execute arbitrary OS commands" on affected SMA1000 firmware (NVD).

NVD lists only a Secondary CVSS v3.1 score (source identifier 134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0): base score 7.2 (high), vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H — network-reachable, low complexity, but high privileges (administrator) required. NVD's status is "Analyzed," with no NVD Primary metric published, so this score is labelled not NVD-confirmed on this page (NVD).

SonicWall's PSIRT advisory SNWLID-2026-0008 covers the affected SMA1000 firmware builds listed above and ties CVE-2026-15410 to a chained attack: Rapid7's Managed Detection and Response team observed threat actors first exploiting an unauthenticated SSRF vulnerability, CVE-2026-15409 (CVSS 10.0), to reach the administrative interface, then using CVE-2026-15410's code-injection flaw to execute commands as root on internet-facing SMA1000 appliances (SonicWall PSIRT Advisory SNWLID-2026-0008).

CISA added CVE-2026-15410 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2026-07-14, with a required-action due date of 2026-07-17 — a three-day window reflecting the severity of a fully chained, unauthenticated-to-root attack path on a remote-access appliance — confirmed present in the live KEV catalog's CVE-filtered view this run (CISA KEV).

As of 2026-10-30, FIRST scores the probability of exploitation at 0.11791 (96.076th percentile) — high relative to most CVEs, consistent with SMA1000's role as a frequently targeted, internet-exposed SSL-VPN/remote-access front door (FIRST EPSS).

Any SMA1000 appliance (SMA 6210, 7210 or 8200v) on the affected firmware ranges should be patched immediately and treated as potentially compromised if internet-facing, since this bug is most dangerous as the second half of a complete unauthenticated-to-root chain with CVE-2026-15409 rather than as a standalone issue.
