Multiple Vulnerabilities in Fortinet Products Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

📅 12 May 2026 at 19:45 UTC📰 CIS AdvisoriesView original source ↗

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Fortinet products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution.  * FortiAuthenticator is a centralized identity and access management (IAM) solution that secures network access by managing user identities, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and certificate management. * FortiSandbox is an advanced threat detection solution from Fortinet that uses sandboxing to analyze suspicious files and network traffic for advanced threats like zero-day malware and ransomware.Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to remote code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have less rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
