CVE-2021-36192

Cross-ADOM script disclosure to authenticated users

Published Nov 3, 2021 · Updated Oct 25, 2024

Information exposure in affected Fortinet FortiManager releases allows local users to view scripts assigned to other ADOMs. Fortinet has not published the affected function or explained how FortiManager fails to enforce ADOM boundaries when returning stored scripts. Exploitation requires an authenticated FortiGate user context, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of scripts belonging to other administrative domains.
