Fortinet FortiOS 5.2.x < 5.2.10 / 5.4.1 < 5.4.2 Local Password Hash Disclosure (FG-IR-16-050)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 97066

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a local information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote FortiGate device is running a version of FortiOS that is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.10, or else it is running version 5.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by a local information disclosure vulnerability due to a failure to properly protect password hashes stored on the device. A local attacker can exploit this to obtain password hashes of other users on the device, allowing the attacker to possibly obtain user passwords, including the passwords of super-admin users.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS 5.2.10 / 5.4.2 or later.
