Administrative access via FortiCloud SSO race
Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Authorization bypass in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer allows remote attackers to gain administrative access via crafted FortiCloud SSO requests. Concurrent FortiCloud SSO requests race the authorization check, but Fortinet has not disclosed the affected code path or shared state. The appliance must be registered to FortiCloud with administrator SSO enabled, and successful exploitation requires user interaction; no data disclosure or service interruption is reported.
