CVE-2013-5701

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—💥 Exploit

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in (1) Watchguard Log Collector (wlcollector.exe) and (2) Watchguard WebBlocker Server (wbserver.exe) in WatchGuard Server Center 11.7.4, 11.7.3, and possibly earlier allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse wgpr.dll file in the application's bin directory.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 7.2

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.04%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 63
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
