VAR-201404-0126

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-12 23:27

FortiGuard FortiAuthenticator before 3.0 allows remote administrators to gain privileges via the command line interface. Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is prone to an unspecified local privilege-escalation. Local attackers can exploit this issue to gain access to the system shell and run arbitrary shell commands with elevated privileges. Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 1.x and 2.x are vulnerable. FortiGuard FortiAuthenticator is a series of security authentication software from Fortinet. It can be combined with FortiToken (two-factor authentication token) to provide secure two-factor authentication to third-party devices authenticated by RADIUS or LDAP. A security vulnerability exists in FortiGuard FortiAuthenticator 2.2 and earlier versions

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
