It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-35281 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Forticlient. 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-2024-35281/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35281/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-35281","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35281/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-35281","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9qx4-7755-7gxr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet desktop client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can inject code via Electron environment variables in Fortinet desktop applications, potentially executing arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"forticlient","vendor":"fortinet"},{"product":"fortifone_softclient","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":2.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:X/RC:R","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-653","name":"Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization"}],"description":"An improper isolation or compartmentalization vulnerability [CWE-653] in FortiClientMac version 7.4.2 and below, version 7.2.8 and below, 7.0 all versions and FortiVoiceUCDesktop 3.0 all versions desktop application may allow an authenticated attacker to inject code via Electron environment variables.","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":"Code injection in FortiClientMac","id":"CVE-2024-35281","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:forticlient","products":["fortinet:forticlient"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in FortiClientiOS","id":"CVE-2024-35282"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in FortiDeceptor","id":"CVE-2024-35280"},"products":["FortiClientMac","FortiVoiceUCDesktop"],"published":"2025-05-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2019-17658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-12"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Code injection in FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2023-45590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in FortiClient SSLVPN Client for Linux","id":"CVE-2017-14184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClient","id":"CVE-2016-8493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-26"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2020-15934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2019-5589","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-28"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2021-43066","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-11"}],"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":"2025-05-13","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can inject code via Electron environment variables in Fortinet desktop applications, potentially executing arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35281/"}
