CVE-2026-58085 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting freebsd. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

After dispatching a decrypt operation to OCF and receiving the result, the wg(4) driver failed to check whether the MAC verification step succeeded. The driver thus silently accepted packets with an invalid Poly1305 authentication tag. A remote attacker who can send UDP packets to a WireGuard endpoint, and who can guess the bounds of the receiver's replay window, can inject forged or modified transport data packets into the tunnel. A remote at
