Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2018-1360 affects older Fortinet FortiManager releases and can expose an administrator password in cleartext REST API JSON responses. An attacker must already be able to intercept traffic between parties, but successful exposure could compromise FortiManager administration. Exposure is most likely where affected FortiManager versions remain deployed and REST API or administrative traffic crosses networks where interception is possible. The sources do not identify other affected products or versions. Prioritize remediation for any affected FortiManager instance because the exposed credential is administrative. The attack requires network interception, but the business impact can be high if FortiManager controls security infrastructure or centralized policy operations. Mitigation focus: Identify FortiManager deployments running 5.2.0-5.2.7, 5.4.0, or 5.4.1.; Review Fortinet advisory FG-IR-18-051 for vendor remediation guidance.; Upgrade or patch according to Fortinet guidance when applicable..
