Evidence used

  • CISA confirms exploitation in the wild.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 94.77% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Fortinet FortiManager and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

01

What, why and how

Fortinet FortiManager contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the fgfmd daemon that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specially crafted requests.

What

Fortinet FortiManager contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the fgfmd daemon that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specially crafted requests.

Why

A security-sensitive function is reachable without the authentication check that should protect it.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

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.
Confirmed in the wild

CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 2024-10-23.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

Likely attack path

CWE-306 ↗

CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function. The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.

After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0423Kwetsbaarheid ontdekt in Fortinet FortiManager

Er is, voor de bekendmaking van de CVE en patch, misbruik van CVE-2024-47575 waargenomen. Er bestaat daarmee een risico op misbruik van deze CVE voordat de beschikbare patch is geïnstalleerd. Het NCSC adviseert om, naast het patchen van uw FortiManager met de beschikbaar gestelde patch, onderzoek te doen aan de hand van beschikbare Indicators of Compromise (IoC’s) om mogelijk misbruik te onderkennen. Een kwaadwillende kan toegang hebben gehad tot uw FortiManager omgeving door een ander Fortinet serienummer in uw FortiManager te registreren. Via het certificaat zou de kwaadwillende de authenticatie hebben kunnen omzeilen. Fortinet heeft in de FG-IR-24-423 advisory IoC's beschikbaar gesteld die kunnen helpen bij forensisch onderzoek (zie referentie). De aanval stelt een kwaadwillende in staat om configuratie gegevens op te halen van uw firewall/netwerk omgeving. Ook stelt dit een kwaadwillende in staat om (VPN) account credentials en certificaten in te zien, welke de mogelijkheid geven om via bestaande accounts uw netwerk te betreden. Mocht u indicatoren zien van misbruik, adviseert het NCSC daarom ook om accounts te resetten en certificaten te vernieuwen. Wat precies in een aanval gestolen zou kunnen zijn ligt echter aan de geïmplementeerde configuratie en kan per casus verschillen.
