Hello Fortinet Team,

I would like to confirm whether FortiClient Windows version 7.2.13.1284 is affected by the recently disclosed vulnerability related to Missing Authorization CVE-2026-44278, which may allow an authenticated local attacker to decrypt a currently logged-in user’s VPN password via an unprotected DLL function.

Could you please clarify:

  • Whether version 7.2.13.1284 is vulnerable
  • If this issue has already been fixed in this release
  • Whether any mitigation or upgrade is recommended

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

hi,

according to https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-129 all FortiClient 7.2 versions are vulnerable and a non-vulnerable version is starting with FortiClient 7.4.3 onwards
