An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-35616 in the wild since at least 6 Apr 2026.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiClientEMS. 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-2026-35616/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35616/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-35616","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35616/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-35616","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gvcr-mc93-7p8p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiClientEMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute unauthorized code or commands on FortiClientEMS via crafted requests due to improper access control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"forticlientems","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"A improper access control vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClientEMS 7.4.5 through 7.4.6 may allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via crafted requests.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-04-04","github_poc":8,"max_poc_stars":45,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-04-19T09:46:50Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Alaatk/CVE-2026-35616","stars":45,"title":"Fortinet FortiClientEMS improper access control"},{"date":"2026-04-06T21:04:26Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/BishopFox/CVE-2026-35616-check","stars":2,"title":null},{"date":"2026-04-04T08:43:00Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xredash/CVE-2026-35616","stars":1,"title":"CVE-2026-35616"},{"date":"2026-04-13T18:49:00Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/keraattin/CVE-2026-35616","stars":1,"title":"CVE-2026-35616 - FortiClient EMS Pre-Authentication API Bypass (CVSS 9.1, CISA KEV).
