High-Severity Vulnerabilities Patched
Two vulnerabilities received a high severity rating and pose the most significant risk to unpatched environments.
CVE-2026-22627 (FG-IR-26-086) highlights a Buffer Overflow issue (CWE-120) in the LLDP OUI field of FortiSwitchAXFixed versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. This vulnerability could let attackers overwrite memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the device.
CVE-2025-54820 (FG-IR-26-098) is a critical Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121) in the FortiManager fgtupdates service. It’s present in FortiManager versions 7.4.0 to 7.4.2 and 7.2.9 to 7.2.10. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute remote code via a malicious update request, posing a serious risk to organizations with centralized network management.
Authentication and MFA Bypass Vulnerabilities:
Three separate vulnerabilities target authentication mechanisms across FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, collectively creating significant access control risks.
CVE-2026-22629 (FG-IR-26-079) allows attackers to bypass authentication lockouts due to a race condition. This issue affects FortiAnalyzer versions 7.6.0 to 7.6.4, FortiAnalyzer Cloud, FortiManager 7.6.0 to 7.6.4, and FortiManager Cloud. Attackers can exploit this flaw to brute-force credentials without causing account lockouts.
CVE-2026-22572 (FG-IR-26-090) is a serious authentication bypass issue in the GUI of FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager versions 7.6.0–7.6.3 and their Cloud versions. It allows attackers to completely bypass multi-factor authentication, undermining a key security measure for administrative access.
CVE-2025-68482 (FG-IR-26-078) concerns flawed TLS certificate validation (CWE-295) in the FortiManager GUI during SSO authentication, impacting FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager versions 7.6.0–7.6.4. A remote attacker may exploit this through man-in-the-middle attacks to compromise the authentication process.
Command Injection and Privilege Escalation
CVE-2026-25836 (FG-IR-26-096) is a vulnerability in FortiSandbox Cloud 5.0.4 that allows OS Command Injection (CWE-78) through its vmimages update feature. An attacker with valid access could exploit this to run any OS command via the GUI, potentially compromising the entire system.
CVE-2025-48418 (FG-IR-26-081) reveals a hidden CLI feature (CWE-1242) in FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, impacting versions 7.6.0–7.6.3 and related Cloud platforms. An attacker with access can misuse this command to gain unauthorized privileges.
CVE-2026-22628 (FG-IR-26-085) details an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in FortiSwitchAXFixed 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. This issue lets authenticated admin users bypass SSH shell command restrictions using local configuration overrides.
The advisory includes other medium-rated issues. CVE-2025-68648 (FG-IR-26-092) is a format string vulnerability (CWE-134) in the fazsvcd component of FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager, accessible through the API.
CVE-2025-49784 (FG-IR-26-095) is an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the FortiAnalyzer JSON-RPC API, impacting versions 7.6.0 to 7.6.4 and FortiAnalyzer-BigData.
CVE-2025-53608 (FG-IR-26-091) is a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in the LDAP server of FortiSandbox versions 4.4.6–5.0.2.
