CVE-2021-24006Network attack vector

Restricted-user access via unguarded Orchestrator URL

Published Sep 6, 2021 · Updated Oct 25, 2024

Improper access control in Fortinet FortiManager 6.4.0 through 6.4.3 allows remote authenticated users to access the SD-WAN Orchestrator panel. The web interface permits direct navigation to the panel URL without enforcing the restricted administrator profile's intended authorization boundary. A valid restricted-profile account and an enabled management extension are required; Fortinet has not detailed which panel operations become available.
