Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-45581 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiClientEMS. 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-2023-45581/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45581/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-45581","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45581/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-45581","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gcc7-m89j-w3pq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FortiClient EMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Site administrators can escalate privileges to perform global administrative operations on other sites via crafted requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"forticlient_enterprise_management_server","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:H/E:F/RL:X/RC:U","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"An improper privilege management vulnerability [CWE-269] vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClientEMS 7.2.0 through 7.2.2, FortiClientEMS 7.0.6 through 7.0.10, FortiClientEMS 7.0.0 through 7.0.4, FortiClientEMS 6.4 all versions, FortiClientEMS 06.02 all versions, FortiClientEMS 6.2 all versions allows an Site administrator with Super Admin privileges to perform global administrative operations affecting other sites via crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.","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 FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2023-45581","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":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2023-45582"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-45580"},"products":["FortiClientEMS"],"published":"2024-02-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Fortinet FortiClient EMS SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-48788","kev_date_added":"2024-03-25","published":"2024-03-12"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Command injection in FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2024-33508","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-10"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Fortinet FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2021-36189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-09"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Auth bypass in Fortinet FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2021-41030","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-08"},{"cvss_score":4.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2020-15940","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-02"}],"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":"2026-10-22","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Site administrators can escalate privileges to perform global administrative operations on other sites via crafted requests.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45581/"}
