An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-26090 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiMail. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26090/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26090/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-26090","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26090/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-26090","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j48p-m2m2-h4m7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiMail","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can exhaust memory in FortiMail Webmail via crafted login requests, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortimail","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"A missing release of memory after its effective lifetime vulnerability in the Webmail of FortiMail 6.4.0 through 6.4.4 and 6.2.0 through 6.2.6 may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust available memory via specifically crafted login requests.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-26090","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-26091"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Fortinet FortiClientMac","id":"CVE-2021-26089"},"products":["Fortinet FortiMail"],"published":"2021-07-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet FortiMail Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-104286","kev_date_added":"2026-10-01","published":"2026-10-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-36166","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2020-9294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-27"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2023-47539","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24013","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-22129","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-25","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can exhaust memory in FortiMail Webmail via crafted login requests, causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26090/"}
