What, why and how

A improper privilege management vulnerability in Fortinet FortiManager Cloud 7.4.1 through 7.4.3, FortiManager Cloud 7.2.1 through 7.2.5, FortiManager Cloud 7.0 all versions, FortiManager 7.4.0 through 7.4.3, FortiManager 7.2.0 through 7.2.5, FortiManager 7.0 all versions, FortiManager 6.4 all versions allows attacker to escalation of privilege via specific shell commands

What

A improper privilege management vulnerability in Fortinet FortiManager Cloud 7.4.1 through 7.4.3, FortiManager Cloud 7.2.1 through 7.2.5, FortiManager Cloud 7.0 all versions, FortiManager 7.4.0 through 7.4.3, FortiManager 7.2.0 through 7.2.5, FortiManager 7.0 all versions, FortiManager 6.4 all versions allows attacker to escalation of privilege via specific shell commands

Why

A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Incorrect Privilege Assignment → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
High: elevated access is required
User interaction
None
Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-266 ↗

CWE-266: Incorrect Privilege Assignment. A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRHighPrivileges required: The attacker needs elevated or administrative privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.

The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2025-0018Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Fortinet FortiSwitch, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiOS en FortiProxy

De kwetsbaarheden omvatten onder andere hard-coded cryptografische sleutels, onjuiste verwerking van OS-commando's, en out-of-bounds schrijf- en leesfouten. Aanvallers kunnen deze kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om ongeautoriseerde toegang te verkrijgen, willekeurige code uit te voeren en Denial-of-Service-aanvallen te veroorzaken.
