CVE-2026-26035 is an improper authentication vulnerability in Fortinet FortiWeb's remote administrator authentication mechanism. In affected deployments using Remote RADIUS Type administrator authentication with the non-default Wildcard option enabled, FortiWeb can incorrectly match arbitrary remote usernames to an administrator account or group. A remote unauthenticated attacker can consequently authenticate to the FortiWeb GUI or CLI with an arbitrary username and password. Affected releases are FortiWeb 8.0.0 through 8.0.2, 7.6.0 through 7.6.6, 7.4.0 through 7.4.11, 7.2.0 through 7.2.12, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.12.
