FKIE_CVE-2026-25815

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-05 22:15 - Updated: 2026-02-06 15:14
Severity ?
3.2 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
Summary
Fortinet FortiOS through 7.6.6 allows attackers to decrypt LDAP credentials stored in device configuration files, as exploited in the wild from 2025-12-16 through 2026 (by default, the encryption key is the same across all customers' installations). NOTE: the Supplier's position is that the instance of CWE-1394 is not a vulnerability because customers "are supposed to enable" a non-default option that eliminates the weakness. However, that non-default option can disrupt functionality as shown in the "Managing FortiGates with private data encryption" document, and is therefore intentionally not a default option.

Sin embargo, esa opci\u00f3n no predeterminada puede interrumpir la funcionalidad como se muestra en el documento \u0027Managing FortiGates with private data encryption\u0027, y, por lo tanto, no es intencionalmente una opci\u00f3n predeterminada."
