An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2018-13382 in the wild since at least 10 Jan 2022, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortios. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13382/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13382/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-13382","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13382/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-13382","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-chg2-j3mj-m3rj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet SSL VPN","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can modify SSL VPN user passwords via crafted HTTP requests, leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortios","vendor":"fortinet"},{"product":"fortiproxy","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"An Improper Authorization vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS 6.0.0 to 6.0.4, 5.6.0 to 5.6.8 and 5.4.1 to 5.4.10 and FortiProxy 2.0.0, 1.2.0 to 1.2.8, 1.1.0 to 1.1.6, 1.0.0 to 1.0.7 under SSL VPN web portal allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify the password of an SSL VPN web portal user via specially crafted HTTP requests","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2019-08-11","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":146,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-08-11T11:13:44Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/milo2012/CVE-2018-13382","stars":146,"title":"CVE-2018-13382"},{"date":"2021-04-28T19:17:04Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/tumikoto/Exploit-FortinetMagicBackdoor","stars":1,"title":"PoC for CVE-2018-13382, never successfully tested so swim at your own risk"},{"date":"2020-11-19","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"49074","stars":null,"title":"Fortinet FortiOS 6.0.4 -
