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-24-012 advisory.

 - An improper access control vulnerability [CWE-284] in FortiOS may allow an attacker who has already successfully obtained write access to the underlying system (via another hypothetical exploit) to bypass the file integrity checking system. (CVE-2024-36505)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Fortigate version 6.4.999999 / 7.0.15 / 7.2.8 / 7.4.4 or later.
