Total garmin CVEs: 14
Earliest CVE date: 11 May 2009, 15:30 UTC
Latest CVE date: 13 May 2026, 21:16 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2025-27853
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 4
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): -100.0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): -100.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 0.62
Max CVSS: 9.3
Critical CVEs (≥9): 1
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 14 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 0 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 0 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 1 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for garmin, sorted by severity first and recency.
The locally served web site on the Garmin WDU (v1 1.4.6 and v2 5.0) allows its authentication to be bypassed. The WDU web site only performs authentication with the client within the client's browser. The WebSockets used to communicate with the WDU server do not enforce any authentication. An attacker may bypass all authentication mechanisms by directly utilizing the remote APIs available on the websocket.
The locally served web site on the Garmin WDU (v1 1.4.6 and v2 5.0) allows a reflected cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This allows an attacker on the local network segment to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the WDU webpage. Full administrator level access to the device is possible. To initiate an exploit of this vulnerability, the victim must execute two actions: (1) view a specific URL served by the WDU, and (2) click an element on the rendered page.
The locally served web site on the Garmin WDU (v1 1.4.6 and v2 5.0) allows a cross-site origin WebSocket hijacking attack. Among other uses, the WDU utilizes WebSockets to control settings, including administrative settings. This allows a network attacker to take full control of a WDU. To initiate an exploit of this vulnerability, the victim must (1) be utilizing a web browser on a multihomed host that has local interfaces on the Garmin Marine Network as well as another network, and (2) access a malicious third party website created by the attacker.
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.
The `Toybox.Ant.BurstPayload.add` API method in CIQ API version 2.2.0 through 4.1.7 suffers from a type confusion vulnreability, which can result in an out-of-bounds write operation. A malicious application could create a specially crafted `Toybox.Ant.BurstPayload` object, call its `add` method, override arbitrary memory and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
The GarminOS TVM component in CIQ API version 1.0.0 through 4.1.7 is vulnerable to various buffer overflows when loading binary resources. A malicious application embedding specially crafted resources could hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
The GarminOS TVM component in CIQ API version 2.1.0 through 4.1.7 allows applications with a specially crafted head section to use the `Toybox.SensorHistory` module without permission. A malicious application could call any functions from the `Toybox.SensorHistory` module without the user's consent and disclose potentially private or sensitive information.
The `Toybox.Ant.GenericChannel.enableEncryption` API method in CIQ API version 3.2.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameter, which can result in buffer overflows when copying various attributes. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted object and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
The `Toybox.GenericChannel.setDeviceConfig` API method in CIQ API version 1.2.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameter, which can result in buffer overflows when copying various attributes. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted object and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
The `news` MonkeyC operation code in CIQ API version 1.0.0 through 4.1.7 fails to check that string resources are not extending past the end of the expected sections. A malicious CIQ application could craft a string that starts near the end of a section, and whose length extends past its end. Upon loading the string, the GarminOS TVM component may read out-of-bounds memory.
The `Toybox.Cryptography.Cipher.initialize` API method in CIQ API version 3.0.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameters, which can result in buffer overflows when copying data. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted parameters and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
The permission system implemented and enforced by the GarminOS TVM component in CIQ API version 1.0.0 through 4.1.7 can be bypassed entirely. A malicious application with specially crafted code and data sections could access restricted CIQ modules, call their functions and disclose sensitive data such as user profile information and GPS coordinates, among others.
The `Toybox.Graphics.BufferedBitmap.initialize` API method in CIQ API version 2.3.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameters, which can result in integer overflows when allocating the underlying bitmap buffer. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted parameters and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
In Garmin Connect 4.61, terminating a LiveTrack session wouldn't prevent the LiveTrack API from continued exposure of private personal information. NOTE: this is disputed by the vendor because the LiveTrack API service is not a customer-controlled product.
The domain-locking implementation in the GARMINAXCONTROL.GarminAxControl_t.1 ActiveX control in npGarmin.dll in the Garmin Communicator Plug-In 2.6.4.0 does not properly enforce the restrictions that (1) download and (2) upload requests come from a web site specified by the user, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or reconfigure Garmin GPS devices via unspecified vectors related to a "synchronisation error."
