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-2022-26118 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortianalyzer. 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-2022-26118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-26118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26118/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-26118","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-825g-6mc8-89vv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet network management","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated attacker with restricted shell access can escalate privileges to root due to incorrect file permissions in FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortianalyzer","vendor":"fortinet"},{"product":"fortimanager","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:U/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"A privilege chaining vulnerability [CWE-268] in FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer 6.0.x, 6.2.x, 6.4.0 through 6.4.7, 7.0.0 through 7.0.3 may allow a local and authenticated attacker with a restricted shell to escalate their privileges to root due to incorrect permissions of some folders and executable files on the system.","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":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiManager , FortiAnalyzer","id":"CVE-2022-26118","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:fortianalyzer","products":["fortinet:fortianalyzer","fortinet:fortimanager"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Fortinet FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2022-26119"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Fortinet FortiNAC","id":"CVE-2022-26117"},"products":["Fortinet FortiManager , FortiAnalyzer"],"published":"2022-07-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel","id":"CVE-2026-24858","kev_date_added":"2026-01-27","published":"2026-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in FortiAnalyzer","id":"CVE-2023-25610","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager","id":"CVE-2021-32603","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer","id":"CVE-2020-12817","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-24"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiOS","id":"CVE-2024-48886","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager","id":"CVE-2022-39950","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in Fortinet FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2021-26104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-06"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-25","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"A local authenticated attacker with restricted shell access can escalate privileges to root due to incorrect file permissions in FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26118/"}
