Unauthenticated code execution via GUI buffer underwrite
Published Mar 24, 2025 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Heap buffer underflow in Fortinet appliance administrative GUIs allows remote attackers to execute code or crash the GUI via crafted requests. The GUI request handler writes before a heap buffer boundary while processing attacker-controlled request data; Fortinet has not disclosed the affected function or field. No authentication or user interaction is required, but administrative HTTP or HTTPS access must be reachable.
