CVE-2022-41331Network attack vector

Unauthenticated Redis and MongoDB access via missing passwords

Published Apr 11, 2023 · Updated Oct 23, 2024

Missing authentication in Fortinet FortiPresence on-prem infrastructure servers 1.0 through 1.2 allows remote attackers to access databases. The infrastructure server exposes its Redis and MongoDB instances without password enforcement, accepting crafted authentication requests that reach the databases. Only on-premises deployments are affected; cloud instances are not, and unauthenticated network reachability permits reading, changing, or deleting stored data.
