CISA added two SonicWall SMA1000 vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 2, 2026, giving federal agencies just three days to act. SonicWall disclosed both as zero-days after finding them under active exploitation.
CVE-2026-83548 (CVSS 10.0, Critical) is a pre-authentication SSRF flaw in the Appliance Work Place interface. CVE-2026-83549 (CVSS 7.8, High) is an OS command injection in the Appliance Management Console that normally requires admin authentication. Chained, the SSRF supplies that access — turning the pair into unauthenticated remote code execution.
SonicWall says it has seen exploitation of both, which points to chaining, and that no public proof-of-concept exists. Affected models are the 6210, 7210, and 8200v; the fix is hotfix 12.4.3-03526 or 12.5.0-02952 and higher.
SMA1000 appliances handle enterprise remote access, making them high-value targets. CISA has flagged both under Binding Operational Directive 26-04, requiring forensic triage — not just patching. Audit admin activity, check for new accounts, and review outbound connections. If you find signs of compromise, SonicWall says to re-image, rotate all passwords, and reset TOTP tokens.
