It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-126181 in the wild and no public exploit code.\nExposure: Having an affected version installed is enough. The problem is in what it ships or how it installs, so no code has to call it.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiManager. 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-2026-126181/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-126181/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-126181","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-126181/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-126181","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xfm-8jxr-pcpm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","exploitable_when_present":true,"fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"network management appliance","requires_auth":"low_privilege","requires_specific_call":false,"summary":"Adjacent authenticated attackers can join FortiGate FGFM mesh configuration-syncs using the default pre-shared key; FortiGate administrators should care.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials","vulnerable_functions":[]},"analysis_generated_by":"sbomify/insights-2b-fp8","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"A use of hard-coded credentials vulnerability in Fortinet FortiManager 8.0.0 through 8.0.1, FortiManager 7.6.0 through 7.6.7, FortiManager 7.4.0 through 7.4.11, FortiManager 7.2 all versions may allow an adjacent-network authenticated attacker with user permission to join the FGFM configuration-sync mesh of the affected FortiGate deployment via the default pre-shared key.","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":"Hardcoded credentials in FortiManager","id":"CVE-2026-126181","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in FortiManager","id":"CVE-2026-126182"},"nickname":null,"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in FortiManager","id":"CVE-2026-126180"},"products":["FortiManager"],"published":"2026-11-11","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-11-11","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Adjacent authenticated attackers can join FortiGate FGFM mesh configuration-syncs using the default pre-shared key; FortiGate administrators should care.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-126181/"}
