An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-52970 exists.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortiweb. 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-2025-52970/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52970/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-52970","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52970/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-52970","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jc24-hjq6-4g6f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiWeb","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can gain admin privileges on FortiWeb devices via specially crafted requests exploiting improper parameter handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortiweb","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:X/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-233","name":"Improper Handling of Parameters"}],"description":"A improper handling of parameters in Fortinet FortiWeb versions 7.6.3 and below, versions 7.4.7 and below, versions 7.2.10 and below, and 7.0.10 and below may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker with non-public information pertaining to the device and targeted user to gain admin privileges on the device via a specially crafted request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-08-23","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":10,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2025-08-23T07:09:10Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Hex00-0x4/FortiWeb-CVE-2025-52970-Authentication-Bypass","stars":10,"title":null},{"date":"2025-09-07T22:52:57Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/34zY/CVE-2025-52970","stars":8,"title":" CVE-2025-52970 - FortiWeb Authentication Bypass to Remote Code Execution Exploit "},{"date":"2025-10-05T14:11:03Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/imbas007/POC-CVE-2025-52970","stars":0,"title":null},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2025/CVE-2025-52970.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Fortinet FortiWeb - Authentication Bypass to Admin Privilege"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2025-52970","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:fortiweb","products":["fortinet:fortiweb"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Not used","id":"CVE-2025-52971"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2025-52969"},"products":["FortiWeb"],"published":"2025-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Fortinet FortiWeb SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2025-25257","kev_date_added":"2025-07-18","published":"2025-07-17"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Fortinet FortiWeb Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2025-64446","kev_date_added":"2025-11-14","published":"2025-11-14"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Fortinet FortiWeb OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2025-58034","kev_date_added":"2025-11-18","published":"2025-11-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Fortinet FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2020-29015","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Fortinet FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2020-29016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2021-42756","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-16"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2025-59719","kev_date_added":null,"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":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-14","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can gain admin privileges on FortiWeb devices via specially crafted requests exploiting improper parameter handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52970/"}
