Technical details
An Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability (CWE-532) exists in the GUI component of FortiOS and FortiProxy. The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with at least read-only privileges to retrieve sensitive 2FA-related information by observing system logs or executing specific 'diagnose' commands. The attack vector is network-based, but requires high privileges (PR:H) according to the vendor's CVSS assessment. This could lead to the disclosure of secrets used for multi-factor authentication. Users are advised to upgrade to FortiOS/FortiProxy version 7.6.4 or higher, or migrate to a fixed release for older branches.
