DescriptionCVE.org
A out-of-bounds write in Fortinet FortiManager version 7.4.0 through 7.4.2, FortiAnalyzer version 7.4.0 through 7.4.2 allows attacker to escalation of privilege via specially crafted http requests.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Fortinet FortiManager face moderate risk from CVE-2024-35273, a out-of-bounds write vulnerability rated CVSS 7.2. Exploitation could allow attackers to corrupt memory, crash the application, or potentially execute arbitrary code. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Enable ASLR and DEP where available; (2) Implement network segmentation; (3) Monitor for exploitation indicators.

The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
