Security readout for executives and security teams

Fortinet FortiOS 6.0.0 and earlier can expose web portal login credentials to the user’s browser in a JavaScript file when bookmarked web portal pages use Single Sign-On. This is a credential disclosure issue, not described as remote code execution in the provided sources. Organizations using Fortinet FortiOS 6.0.0 or earlier with web portal bookmarks configured for Single Sign-On are the likely exposure group. Systems without that portal bookmark and SSO configuration may not match the described condition. Treat this as high priority where FortiOS web portal SSO bookmarks are in use, because exposed credentials can turn a configuration-specific bug into account compromise. Prioritize inventory, vendor guidance, remediation, and credential rotation. Mitigation focus: Check Fortinet advisory FG-IR-18-027 for vendor-confirmed fixes and mitigations.; Inventory FortiOS appliances and prioritize versions 6.0.0 and earlier.; Identify web portal bookmarks using Single Sign-On..
