Agent password disclosure via plaintext log entry
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 30, 2024
Information disclosure in Fortinet FortiSIEM 6.7.0 through 6.7.5 and 7.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to obtain agent passwords. The Windows agent writes its plaintext registration password into a log file rather than redacting or omitting the credential. Access to the Windows agent logs is required, and exposure is limited to the password used to register the agent with the Supervisor.
