low Nessus Plugin ID 197629

Synopsis

Fortinet Firewall is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of Fortigate installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FG-IR-20-014 advisory.

- A clear text storage of sensitive information (CWE-312) vulnerability in both FortiGate version 6.4.0 through 6.4.1, 6.2.0 through 6.2.9 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.13 and FortiAuthenticator version 5.5.0 and all versions of 6.1 and 6.0 may allow a local unauthorized party to retrieve the Fortinet private keys used to establish secure communication with both Apple Push Notification and Google Cloud Messaging services, via accessing the files on the filesystem. (CVE-2022-22302)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Please upgrade to FortiOS version 6.0.14/6.2.10/6.4.2 or later.
