Fortinet FortiOS < 6.0.10 / 6.2.x < 6.2.4 / 6.4.x < 6.4.1 Improper Authentication (FG-IR-19-283)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 141122

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by an improper authentication vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS prior to 6.0.10, 6.2.x prior to 6.2.4, or 6.4.x prior to 6.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by an improper authentication vulnerability due to an issue with the 'username-case-sensitivity' CLI attribute for the SSL VPN. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by changing the case of the username, to log in without being prompted for FortiToken 2FA.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS version to 6.0.10, 6.2.4, 6.4.1 or later, or apply the workaround from the advisory.
