CVE-2024-40585Network attack vector

Authenticated secret disclosure via event-log recording

Published Mar 14, 2025 · Updated Mar 14, 2025

Sensitive-data logging in affected Fortinet FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer releases allows remote authenticated users to read stored secrets. The event-log subsystem records certificate private keys and encrypted passwords in system-log entries visible through the Event Log section. A low-privileged account with event-log access can retrieve those entries, exposing private keys and reusable encrypted credential material without altering data or interrupting service.
