An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-6143 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall. 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-2019-6143/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6143/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6143","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6143/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6143","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q9fg-rrf4-25ph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Forcepoint NGFW","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass password authentication and access protected services when LDAP backend authentication is configured.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"forcepoint","cpe":[{"product":"next_generation_firewall","vendor":"forcepoint"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","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-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) 6.4.x before 6.4.7, 6.5.x before 6.5.4, and 6.6.x before 6.6.2 has a serious authentication vulnerability that potentially allows unauthorized users to bypass password authentication and access services protected by the NGFW Engine. The vulnerability affects the following NGFW features when the LDAP authentication method is used as the backend authentication: IPsec VPN, SSL VPN or Browser-based user authentication. The vulnerability does not apply when any other backend authentication is used. The RADIUS authentication method is not vulnerable, for example.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall","id":"CVE-2019-6143","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Forcepoint One Endpoint","id":"CVE-2019-6144"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Forcepoint Email Security","id":"CVE-2019-6142"},"products":["Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall"],"published":"2019-08-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall","id":"CVE-2021-41530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-04"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation in NGFW Engine","id":"CVE-2025-12690","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Forcepoint"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass password authentication and access protected services when LDAP backend authentication is configured.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6143/"}
