CVE-2026-104286 is a path traversal vulnerability in the Fortinet FortiMail GUI, compounded by improper neutralization of NULL bytes or NULL characters (CWE-158). Affected FortiMail releases fail to adequately restrict attacker-controlled pathnames supplied in crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the flaw to write arbitrary files to the underlying FortiMail system.

config system encryption ibe, set status disable, and end. Until a fixed release is installed, remove Internet access to the FortiMail management interface or limit management access to trusted private networks. Review relevant file, log, and network indicators for signs of compromise.Patch, then assume compromise.
