CRITICAL: FortiClient EMS Bug CVE-2026-35616 Weaponized to Push EKZ Infostealer Across Managed Fleets
Threat actors are abusing CVE-2026-35616, a CVSS 9.1 pre-authentication API bypass in FortiClient EMS, to hijack endpoint management consoles and push the newly identified EKZ infostealer to every managed endpoint disguised as FortiEndpoint_Patch.exe. Patch to 7.4.7 immediately and hunt for indicators in EMS logs and on managed hosts.
