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-2023-26209 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiDeceptor. 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-2023-26209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-26209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26209/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-26209","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f96f-6pqr-vx9w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiDeceptor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause resource exhaustion and denial of service by sending excessive HTTP requests to the login form.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortideceptor","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P/RL:X/RC:X","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"A improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability [CWE-307] in Fortinet FortiDeceptor 3.1.x and before allows  a remote unauthenticated attacker to partially exhaust CPU and memory via sending numerous HTTP requests to the login form.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-03-28","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-03-28T02:21:12Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/chessredoffsec/CVE-2023-26209","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2023-26209","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in FortiADC","id":"CVE-2023-26210"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in FortiAuthenticator","id":"CVE-2023-26208"},"products":["FortiDeceptor"],"published":"2023-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in Fortinet FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2020-29017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-14"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Missing authorization in FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2022-27487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-11"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in Fortinet FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2020-6644","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-22"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2022-38373","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-02"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Path traversal in Fortinet FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2022-30302","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-18"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"Command injection in FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2026-25689","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2024-35280","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-15"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-22","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause resource exhaustion and denial of service by sending excessive HTTP requests to the login form.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26209/"}
