Improper privilege handling in Fortinet FortiPAM and FortiSRA allows remote authenticated users to access unauthorized resources. Fortinet identifies the GUI WebSocket as the locus but has not published which authorization decision mishandles insufficient privileges. A low-privilege session and crafted HTTP requests are required, and the published impact is limited to unauthorized resource access.
