Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Fortinet products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.


  • FortiAuthenticator is a centralized identity and access management (IAM) solution that secures network access by managing user identities, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and certificate management.
  • FortiClientEMS is a centralized management platform for deploying, configuring, monitoring, and enforcing security policies across numerous endpoints (computers) running the FortiClient agent.
  • FortiClient is a Fabric Agent that delivers protection, compliance, and secure access in a single, modular lightweight client.
  • FortiOS is the Fortinet’s proprietary Operation System which is utilized across multiple product lines.
  • FortiSandbox is an advanced threat detection solution from Fortinet that uses sandboxing to analyze suspicious files and network traffic for advanced threats like zero-day malware and ransomware.


Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Service accounts that are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
