low Nessus Plugin ID 214096

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-24-326 advisory.

 - An insertion of sensitive information into sent data vulnerability [CWE-201] in FortiOS 7.6.0, 7.4.0 through 7.4.4 may allow an attacker in a man-in-the-middle position to retrieve the RADIUS accounting server shared secret via intercepting accounting-requests. (CVE-2024-46665)

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 7.4.5 / 7.6.1 or later.
