Unauthenticated code execution via oftpd heap overflow
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer Cloud and FortiManager Cloud 7.6.2 through 7.6.4 allows remote attackers to execute code. The oftpd daemon mishandles crafted requests and writes beyond a heap buffer, but Fortinet has not disclosed the specific parsing routine or length error. Unauthenticated network access is sufficient; substantial preparation is required because ASLR and network segmentation impede reliable code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=7.6.2 <=7.6.4
