It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-21754 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortios. 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-2024-21754/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21754/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-21754","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21754/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-21754","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg7p-9rpp-xjmx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet network OS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A privileged attacker with CLI access can decrypt backup files due to insufficient password hashing effort in FortiOS and FortiProxy.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortios","vendor":"fortinet"},{"product":"fortiproxy","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":1.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:F/RL:X/RC:R","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-916","name":"Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort"}],"description":"A use of password hash with insufficient computational effort vulnerability [CWE-916] affecting FortiOS version 7.4.3 and below, 7.2 all versions, 7.0 all versions, 6.4 all versions and FortiProxy version 7.4.2 and below, 7.2 all versions, 7.0 all versions, 2.0 all versions may allow a privileged attacker with super-admin profile and CLI access to decrypting the backup file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-06-27","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2024-06-27T18:52:06Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/CyberSecuritist/CVE-2024-21754-Forti-RCE","stars":2,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in FortiOS","id":"CVE-2024-21754","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:fortios","products":["fortinet:fortios","fortinet:fortiproxy"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in FortiSandbox","id":"CVE-2024-21755"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in FortiClientEMS","id":"CVE-2024-21753"},"products":["FortiOS","FortiProxy"],"published":"2024-06-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Format String","id":"CVE-2024-23113","kev_date_added":"2024-10-09","published":"2024-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2022-40684","kev_date_added":"2022-10-11","published":"2022-10-18"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS and FortiProxy Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-55591","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS Out-of-Bound Write","id":"CVE-2024-21762","kev_date_added":"2024-02-09","published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-42475","kev_date_added":"2022-12-13","published":"2023-01-02"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS and FortiProxy SSL-VPN Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2023-27997","kev_date_added":"2023-06-13","published":"2023-06-13"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature","id":"CVE-2025-59718","kev_date_added":"2025-12-16","published":"2025-12-09"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-27","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"A privileged attacker with CLI access can decrypt backup files due to insufficient password hashing effort in FortiOS and FortiProxy.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21754/"}
