CVE-2022-30305Network attack vector

Unauthenticated brute-force exposure via unlogged failed logins

Published Dec 6, 2022 · Updated Oct 22, 2024

Insufficient logging in FortiSandbox and FortiDeceptor allows remote attackers to brute-force credentials without audit entries. The authentication path neither records failed logins nor limits repeated attempts across the affected releases, leaving password guessing without an audit trail. Network access to a management login is sufficient; successful guessing still requires a valid password, and no direct data alteration or service interruption is reported.
