Report findings only. What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126236 (entry last updated 2026-11-11): Affected: - Fortinet FortiManager: from 8.0.0, through 8.0.1; from 7.6.0, through 7.6.7; from 7.4.0, through 7.4.11; from 7.2.0, through 7.2.12 - Fortinet FortiAnalyzer: from 8.0.0, through 8.0.1; from 7.6.0, through 7.6.7; from 7.4.0, through 7.4.11; from 7.2.0, through 7.2.12 - Fortinet FortiManager Cloud: from 7.6.0, through 7.6.7; from 7.4.1, through 7.4.11; from 7.2.1, through 7.2.12 - Fortinet FortiAnalyzer Cloud: from 7.6.0, through 7.6.7; from 7.4.1, through 7.4.11; from 7.2.1, through 7.2.12 Fixed versions: none listed yet. Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit): - The JSON API must be enabled on the admin profile (it is disabled by default). (source: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251) - Affected FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, and their Cloud versions in the listed 8.0, 7.6, 7.4 and 7.2 ranges. (source: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251) Setup: the bug needs a feature or setting that is off by default or uncommon. Check whether each asset has it on. Attacker needs: network access, high-privilege login, no user action. Workaround: Set rpc-permit to none on admin profiles that have the JSON API enabled. (source: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251) CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126236 is not listed as of cve.now's last read. This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126236 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one. How to check: - Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory. Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one: - https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251 Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing. Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action. Entry: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-126236 For follow-up questions, use the cve.now MCP server at https://mcp.cve.now/mcp (no authentication), for example execute with name cve.get and arguments {"id": "CVE-2026-126236"}. ``` ## FAQ ### Is CVE-2026-126236 being exploited? It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-126236 ### What does this mean? An authenticated attacker may be able to run unauthorized code or commands on the device by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. The flaw is an OS command injection weakness. Source: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251 ### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-126236? FortiManager: from 8.0.0 through 8.0.1; from 7.6.0 through 7.6.7; from 7.4.0 through 7.4.11; from 7.2.0 through 7.2.12. FortiAnalyzer: from 8.0.0 through 8.0.1; from 7.6.0 through 7.6.7; from 7.4.0 through 7.4.11; from 7.2.0 through 7.2.12. FortiManager Cloud: from 7.6.0 through 7.6.7; from 7.4.1 through 7.4.11; from 7.2.1 through 7.2.12. FortiAnalyzer Cloud: from 7.6.0 through 7.6.7; from 7.4.1 through 7.4.11; from 7.2.1 through 7.2.12. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-126236 ### Am I affected, and how do I check? The listed ranges are FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager 8.0.0 to 8.0.1, 7.6.0 to 7.6.7, 7.4.0 to 7.4.11, and 7.2.0 to 7.2.12, plus the matching Cloud ranges. The bug is reachable only when the JSON API is enabled on an admin profile, which is off by default. To check, look at the running firmware version and the JSON API setting on each admin profile. Source: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251 ### How do I fix CVE-2026-126236? The advisory says to upgrade to 8.0.2 or above. Affected versions in the other listed branches need to be moved to a fixed release for that branch as the vendor publishes it. Source: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-251 ### What if there's no patch? Set rpc-permit to none on any admin profile that has the JSON API enabled. This blocks the affected path until the device can be upgraded.
