FGFM Authentication Weakening via CLI Configuration

FortiManager FGFM flaw (CVSS 7.3) lets an attacker with a valid certificate impersonate any managed FortiGate under a specific CLI option.

Fortinet advisory FG-IR-26-160 describes an authentication bypass via alternate path (CWE-288) in FortiManager and FortiManager Cloud, scored CVSSv3 7.3. A remote unauthenticated attacker holding a valid certificate can impersonate any FortiGate managed by the affected FortiManager when a specific CLI option is set. The impersonation is performed with crafted FGFM protocol requests. The advisory was revised on 2026-08-12 and does not report active exploitation.
