It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24005 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. 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-2021-24005/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24005/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24005","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24005/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24005","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fqjh-4555-fwq2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet authentication server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers with file or CLI access can decrypt sensitive configuration and logs using hard-coded keys in FortiAuthenticator.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortiauthenticator","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Usage of hard-coded cryptographic keys to encrypt configuration files and debug logs in FortiAuthenticator versions before 6.3.0 may allow an attacker with access to the files or the CLI configuration to decrypt the sensitive data, via knowledge of the hard-coded key.","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":"Hardcoded credentials in FortiAuthenticator","id":"CVE-2021-24005","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Fortinet FortiManager","id":"CVE-2021-24006"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Firefox","id":"CVE-2021-24002"},"products":["FortiAuthenticator"],"published":"2021-07-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in FortiAuthenticator","id":"CVE-2026-44277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-6990","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-30"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in Fortinet FortiAuthenticator","id":"CVE-2021-43067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Fortinet FortiSandbox, FortiAuthenticator","id":"CVE-2021-22124","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-02-03"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Information disclosure in FortiAuthenticator","id":"CVE-2025-53379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1458","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-02-03"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-25","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Attackers with file or CLI access can decrypt sensitive configuration and logs using hard-coded keys in FortiAuthenticator.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24005/"}
