Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-26205 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiADC. 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-2023-26205/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26205/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-26205","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26205/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-26205","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7g3h-qprw-5589"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiADC","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated low-privileged attackers can escalate to super_admin via crafted CLI scripts in FortiADC automation features.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortiadc","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":7.9,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:F/RL:U/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"An improper access control vulnerability [CWE-284] in FortiADC automation feature 7.1.0 through 7.1.2, 7.0 all versions, 6.2 all versions, 6.1 all versions may allow an authenticated low-privileged attacker to escalate their privileges to super_admin via a specific crafted configuration of fabric automation CLI script.","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 FortiADC","id":"CVE-2023-26205","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in FortiNAC","id":"CVE-2023-26206"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in FortiSIEM","id":"CVE-2023-26204"},"products":["FortiADC"],"published":"2023-11-14","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS and FortiADC Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2018-13374","kev_date_added":"2022-09-08","published":"2019-01-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiADC","id":"CVE-2022-38374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-02"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in FortiADC","id":"CVE-2023-37933","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Command injection in FortiADC","id":"CVE-2022-39947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-03"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiADC","id":"CVE-2022-35851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in FortiADC","id":"CVE-2023-26210","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-13"}],"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":"2025-12-16","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Authenticated low-privileged attackers can escalate to super_admin via crafted CLI scripts in FortiADC automation features.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26205/"}
