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-2025-62676 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-2025-62676/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62676/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-62676","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62676/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-62676","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cg4-rqg8-pcg3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FortiClient Windows","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local low-privilege attackers can write arbitrary files with elevated permissions via crafted named pipe messages in FortiClient Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"forticlient","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"An Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability [CWE-59] vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClientWindows 7.4.0 through 7.4.4, FortiClientWindows 7.2.0 through 7.2.12, FortiClientWindows 7.0 all versions may allow a local low-privilege attacker to perform an arbitrary file write with elevated permissions via crafted named pipe messages.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-09-15","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":4,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2024-09-15T21:28:14Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/SpacePlant/FortiLPE","stars":4,"title":"Local privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2025-62676."}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2025-62676","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:forticlient","products":["fortinet:forticlient"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Not used","id":"CVE-2025-62677"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in FortiOS","id":"CVE-2025-62675"},"products":["FortiClientWindows"],"published":"2026-02-10","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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Local low-privilege attackers can write arbitrary files with elevated permissions via crafted named pipe messages in FortiClient Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62676/"}
