VAR-201502-0040
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:29The Endpoint Control protocol implementation in Fortinet FortiClient 5.2.3.091 for Android and 5.2.028 for iOS does not validate certificates, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate. Fortinet FortiClient is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate SSL certificates. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks or impersonate trusted servers, which will aid in further attacks. Fortinet FortiClient for Android and iOS is the American Fortinet ( Fortinet ) company based on a set of Android and iOS Platform's endpoint security solution. The program works with FortiGate Available when a firewall device is connected IPsec and SSL Features like encryption, WAN optimization, endpoint compliance, and two-factor authentication. The following versions are affected: Based on Android platform Fortinet FortiClient 5.2.3.091 version, based on iOS platform Fortinet FortiClient 5.2.028 Version

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
