CVE-2022-35842Network attack vector

Unauthenticated settings disclosure via SSL-VPN Telnet traffic

Published Nov 2, 2022 · Updated Oct 22, 2024

Information disclosure in FortiOS SSL-VPN 6.4.0 through 6.4.9, 7.0.0 through 7.0.6, and 7.2.0 allows remote attackers to read LDAP and SAML settings. Telnet traffic sent to the SSL-VPN interface causes the endpoint to expose configured directory and identity-provider settings; Fortinet has not published the responsible code path. No authentication is required, and the documented impact is limited to disclosure of LDAP and SAML configuration information.
