Newly disclosed vulnerability Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)-2026-24858 [Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel] allows malicious actors with a FortiCloud account and a registered device to log in to separate devices registered to other users in FortiOS, FortiManager, FortiWeb, FortiProxy, and FortiAnalyzer, if FortiCloud single sign on (SSO) is enabled on devices.

CVE-2025-59718 and CVE-2025-59719 affect FortiOS, FortiWeb, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitch Manager, and allow malicious actors to bypass the SSO login authentication via a crafted Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) message.
