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-2026-70465 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Forticlient. 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-2026-70465/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70465/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-70465","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70465/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-70465","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-95wv-6wmf-f8vm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FortiClient Windows","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on FortiClient Windows by sending malicious DNS responses, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"forticlient","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"A buffer copy without checking size of input ('classic buffer overflow') vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClientWindows 7.4.0 through 7.4.3, FortiClientWindows 7.2.0 through 7.2.11 may allow an unauthenticated attacker in a position to alter or craft DNS responses to the targeted host to execute arbitrary code via malicious packets.","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":"Memory corruption in FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2026-70465","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:forticlient","products":["fortinet:forticlient"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in FortiOS","id":"CVE-2026-70466"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"rsync 2.0.0 \u003c 3.5.0 Connection Slot Exhaustion DoS via Handshake Stall","id":"CVE-2026-70464"},"products":["FortiClientWindows"],"published":"2026-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2019-17658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-12"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Code injection in FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2023-45590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in FortiClient SSLVPN Client for Linux","id":"CVE-2017-14184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClient","id":"CVE-2016-8493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-26"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2020-15934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2019-5589","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-28"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2021-43066","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-11"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-20","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on FortiClient Windows by sending malicious DNS responses, requiring immediate patching.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70465/"}
