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-2023-45582 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiMail. 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-2023-45582/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45582/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-45582","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45582/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-45582","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jf4v-mhj5-v7mx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FortiMail webmail","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can brute force login attempts 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":"fortimail","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:P/RL:X/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"An improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability [CWE-307] in FortiMail webmail version 7.2.0 through 7.2.4, 7.0.0 through 7.0.6 and before 6.4.8 may allow an unauthenticated attacker to  perform a brute force attack on the affected endpoints via repeated login attempts.","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 FortiMail","id":"CVE-2023-45582","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Other in FortiOS","id":"CVE-2023-45583"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2023-45581"},"products":["FortiMail"],"published":"2023-11-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet FortiMail Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-104286","kev_date_added":"2026-10-01","published":"2026-10-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-36166","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2020-9294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-27"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiMail","id":"CVE-2023-47539","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24013","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-22129","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-30","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can brute force login attempts due to missing rate limiting, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45582/"}
