New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a URL redirection vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS 5.x greater than or equal to 5.4.0, 6.x prior to 6.0.9, or 6.2.x prior to 6.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by a URL redirection vulnerability due to an input-validation flaw related to the admin password change page.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS version to 6.0.9, 6.2.2 or later.
