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-2022-42478 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiSIEM. 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-2022-42478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42478/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42478","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gf5x-hrmg-cj8w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiSIEM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A non-privileged user can brute force authentication attempts on multiple endpoints due to missing rate limiting, potentially leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortisiem","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:X/RL:U/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"An Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts [CWE-307] in FortiSIEM below 7.0.0 may allow a non-privileged user with access to several endpoints to brute force attack these endpoints.","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 FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2022-42478","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Soledad premium theme \u003c= 8.2.5 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-42479"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in FortiAnalyzer","id":"CVE-2022-42477"},"products":["FortiSIEM"],"published":"2023-06-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2025-25256","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Fortinet FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2019-16153","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-23"},{"cvss_score":9.7,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2023-40714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-02"},{"cvss_score":9.7,"headline":"Command injection in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2024-23108","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-05"},{"cvss_score":9.7,"headline":"Command injection in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2024-23109","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-05"},{"cvss_score":9.7,"headline":"Command injection in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2023-34992","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-10"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Command injection in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2025-64155","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-13"}],"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":"2024-10-23","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"A non-privileged user can brute force authentication attempts on multiple endpoints due to missing rate limiting, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42478/"}
