CVE-2026-59835 is a high-severity exposure of resource to wrong sphere vulnerability in Fortinet FortiSandbox. Affected versions include FortiSandbox 5.0.0 through 5.0.2 and 4.4.3 through 4.4.8. The flaw exposes the VNC service associated with virtual machines used by FortiSandbox during malware scanning, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to access those VM desktop sessions over the network by sending network requests. The issue represents an access-control failure in which an internal sandbox resource is reachable from an unintended network sphere. Successful exploitation can allow observation of, and potentially interaction with, malware-analysis virtual machines, weakening the isolation boundary of the sandbox environment.
