Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an authentication bypass in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager products, including their cloud versions, across multiple versions. It allows an attacker who already knows the administrator's password to bypass multifactor authentication (MFA) by submitting multiple specially crafted requests through an alternate path or channel.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is significant because it allows an attacker with knowledge of an admin password to bypass MFA protections, potentially gaining full administrative access. This can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected systems.
