Fortinet Patches Critical Vulnerabilities in FortiMonitorOnSight, Chrome Extension


Fortinet on Tuesday released patches for 10 vulnerabilities across its products, including critical security defects.

The first critical bug, tracked as CVE-2026-84390 (CVSS score of 9.6), is described as an inclusion of sensitive information in source code issue affecting the FortiMonitorOnSight web portal.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit the flaw to bypass authentication via a forged or reused JSON Web Token (JWT).

The second critical vulnerability is an improper authentication issue in the Fortinet Privileged Access Agent Chrome extension, tracked as CVE-2026-84388 (CVSS score of 9.1).

A remote, unauthenticated attacker may exploit the security defect to proxy a user’s browser traffic if the user visits a malicious website, Fortinet explains.

“Remediation for this issue required coordinated changes in two components: FortiPAM and the Fortinet Privileged Access Agent Chrome extension. To be fully secure, customers should upgrade FortiPAM to 1.9.1 or 1.8.4, and ensure the Chrome extension is at version 8.0.1.123 or above,” the company notes.

Fortinet also patched high-severity bugs in FortiSandbox (CVE-2026-26084) and FortiOS and FortiProxy Agentless ZTNA portal (CVE-2026-84393) that could allow attackers to access sensitive information and perform man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, respectively.

The remaining vulnerabilities resolved on Tuesday are medium- and low-severity issues in FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiSandbox, FortiSOAR, FortiClient for Windows, FortiSIEM, FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiPAM.

Successful exploitation of these flaws could allow attackers to bypass approval workflows, cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, execute arbitrary code, inject broadcast messages, terminate processes, crash the httpsd daemon, and cause redirections to arbitrary sites.

Fortinet makes no mention of any of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. Additional information can be found on the company’s PSIRT advisories page.
