AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is an incorrect privilege assignment in FortiOS Security Fabric versions 6.4 through 7.6.2. It allows a remote authenticated attacker who already has high privileges to escalate their privileges to super-admin by registering the device to a malicious FortiManager.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can allow an attacker with high privileges to gain super-admin access, potentially leading to full control over the affected FortiOS device. This can result in unauthorized configuration changes, data compromise, and disruption of network security.
