CVE-2025-27850

Symlink File Disclosure in Garmin WDU Firmware via Malicious Graphics Package

Published May 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The locally served web site on the Garmin WDU (v1 1.4.6 and v2 5.0) allows a symlink attack. If a malicious graphics package containing symlinks is uploaded, the web server follows the supplied links when serving content. No mechanisms to restrict those link targets to a specific area of the filesystem is enabled. This allows an attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the device.
