Information disclosure in Fortinet FortiAuthenticator (6.5 all versions and 6.6.0–6.6.2) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker read out-of-bounds memory via a specially crafted request, exposing sensitive in-memory data. The CVSS temporal metrics (E:F, RC:C) indicate a functional, confirmed exploit is understood by the vendor, and an official fix is available (RL:O). No CISA KEV listing is present, so this is not confirmed as actively exploited despite the mature exploit signal.

Executive ViewAI
FortiAuthenticator authentication infrastructure (versions 6.5 and 6.6.0-6.6.2) is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote information disclosure attacks that expose sensitive authentication data stored in memory. Any attacker without credentials can exploit this vulnerability, potentially compromising user credentials and sensitive system information processed by dependent systems. Immediate patching is required to protect authentication infrastructure and prevent unauthorized account access across all systems relying on this authenticator.
Within 24 hours, identify and document all FortiAuthenticator instances running versions 6.5, 6.6.0, 6.6.1, or 6.6.2, and assess potential exposure of sensitive authentication credentials. Within 7 days, apply the latest vendor security patch to upgrade affected instances, or implement network access restrictions to limit external exposure if patching cannot be completed immediately. Within 30 days, verify all affected instances have been successfully patched and conduct a security audit to confirm no unauthorized access occurred during the vulnerability window.
Apply vendor patch.

How this decision was reached
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
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.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
