An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-9294 exists.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiMail. 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-2020-9294/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-9294/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-9294","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-9294/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-9294","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cg58-vw2q-jv22"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet email/voice server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication and access the system as a legitimate user via a password change request.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortimail","vendor":"fortinet"},{"product":"fortivoice","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"An improper authentication vulnerability in FortiMail 5.4.10, 6.0.7, 6.2.2 and earlier and FortiVoiceEntreprise 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to access the system as a legitimate user by requesting a password change via the user interface.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/http/fortimail_login_bypass_detection","stars":null,"title":"FortiMail Unauthenticated Login Bypass Scanner"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2020-9294","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2020-9295"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiSIEMWindowsAgent","id":"CVE-2020-9292"},"products":["FortiMail","FortiVoiceEnterprise"],"published":"2020-04-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet FortiMail Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-104286","kev_date_added":"2026-10-01","published":"2026-10-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-36166","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2023-47539","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24013","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-22129","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication and access the system as a legitimate user via a password change request.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-9294/"}
