# Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager: spoofed requests let admins escalate privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126214 (this .md is for agents)

Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager have an authentication bypass by spoofing flaw in their web GUI. A logged-in administrator can craft requests to escalate privileges, bypass authorization controls or impersonate internal services.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the running FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager version in the admin GUI or CLI against the affected ranges in the sources.
- Check whether FortiAnalyzer Cloud or FortiManager instances are reachable from networks that include untrusted administrators.

## Fix

- Move FortiAnalyzer 8.0 to a release after `8.0.1`, FortiAnalyzer 7.6 after `7.6.7`, FortiAnalyzer 7.4 after `7.4.11` and FortiAnalyzer 7.2 after `7.2.12` (the sources list these as the affected upper bounds; the fixed releases are not stated).
- Move FortiManager 8.0 past `8.0.0`, FortiManager 7.6 past `7.6.7`, FortiManager 7.4 past `7.4.11` and FortiManager 7.2 past `7.2.12`.
