medium Nessus Plugin ID 270362

Language:

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-25-684 advisory.

 - An improper authorization vulnerability [CWE-285] in Fortinet FortiOS version 7.4.0 through 7.4.1 and before 7.2.8 & Fortinet FortiProxy before version 7.4.8 allows an authenticated attacker to access static files of others VDOMs via crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests. (CVE-2025-54822)

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

Solution

For 7.0.x, see vendor advisory. For 7.2.x, upgrade to Fortigate version 7.2.9 or later. For 7.4.x, upgrade to Fortigate version 7.4.2 or later.
