Fortinet FortiOS SSL-VPN Information Disclosure (FG-IR-21-223)

high Nessus Plugin ID 166981

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS that is 6.4.x through 6.4.9, or 7.0.x through 7.0.7, or 7.2.0. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the SSL_VPN. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to disclose potentially sensitive information.

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

Solution

Update FortiOS to version 6.4.10, 7.0.7, 7.2.2, or later.
