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-2024-40590 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiPortal. 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-2024-40590/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40590/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40590","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40590/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40590","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2f9m-x58v-pcqf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FortiPortal web application","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker in a Man-in-the-Middle position can intercept and tamper with encrypted communications between FortiPortal and backend devices due to improper certificate validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortiportal","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:U/RC:R","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"An improper certificate validation vulnerability [CWE-295] in FortiPortal version 7.4.0, version 7.2.4 and below, version 7.0.8 and below, version 6.0.15 and below when connecting to a FortiManager device, a FortiAnalyzer device, or an SMTP server may allow an unauthenticated attacker in a Man-in-the-Middle position to intercept on and tamper with the encrypted communication channel established between the FortiPortal and those endpoints.","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":"Security feature bypass in FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2024-40590","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in FortiOS","id":"CVE-2024-40591"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in FortiCamera","id":"CVE-2024-40588"},"products":["FortiPortal"],"published":"2025-03-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"SQL injection in Fortinet FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2021-32590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Fortinet FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2021-32588","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Fortinet FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2017-7342","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in Fortinet FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2017-7337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-26"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2025-24470","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Fortinet FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2021-36171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-01"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Command injection in FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2023-48791","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-13"}],"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":"2025-03-14","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated attacker in a Man-in-the-Middle position can intercept and tamper with encrypted communications between FortiPortal and backend devices due to improper certificate validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40590/"}
