CVE-2026-21643 is a critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClient Enterprise Management Server (EMS). The flaw affects FortiClient EMS 7.4.4, with broader reporting indicating exposure across the 7.4.0 through 7.4.5 branch prior to remediation. The issue stems from improper neutralization of attacker-controlled input used during HTTP request processing, specifically in middleware that handles multitenant context selection via the Site header before establishing the backend database context. Technical analysis indicates user-supplied input is incorporated into PostgreSQL search_path handling without sufficient sanitization, enabling pre-authentication SQL injection through crafted HTTP requests. Successful exploitation can progress beyond database manipulation and result in unauthorized command or code execution on the underlying server, making the flaw effectively a remote code execution path on exposed EMS deployments. The vulnerability has been reported as actively exploited in the wild.
