Censys Highlights Critical Fortinet Vulnerability and Ongoing Exploitation Risk

According to a recent LinkedIn post from Censys, the company is highlighting a critical security issue, CVE-2026-35616, affecting Fortinet FortiClient EMS with a high CVSS v3.1 score of 9.1. The post suggests the vulnerability enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute unauthorized code and commands, and notes that a hotfix is available.

The LinkedIn post also indicates that this flaw is reportedly being actively exploited, and it recommends treating Internet-exposed EMS management surfaces as high risk until patched, while restricting access to trusted networks where feasible. For investors, this focus on emerging threats underscores ongoing demand for threat intelligence and attack-surface monitoring, potentially reinforcing Censys’s positioning in enterprise cybersecurity budgets.
