MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS v3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) establishes a network-accessible attack with low complexity, but the privileged access requirement (PR:L) significantly restricts the threat landscape to authenticated users. The user interaction requirement (UI:R) further limits exploitability, as the victim must view a crafted page or interact with poisoned content. The moderate CVSS score of 4.6 aligns with this restricted attack surface. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity within the user's session scope, without availability impact. While no public exploit code or CISA KEV status has been reported, the vulnerability remains actionable for insiders or compromised accounts. This is a legitimate but lower-priority vulnerability compared to unauthenticated or zero-interaction XSS flaws. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated FortiSOAR administrator or user with valid credentials crafts an HTTP request containing malicious JavaScript payload and submits it through a vulnerable input field (such as a workflow parameter, custom field, or configuration option). The payload is stored in the database without proper sanitization. When another user views a page, dashboard, or report that displays this stored data, the JavaScript executes in their browser, potentially stealing session tokens, triggering further actions on their behalf, or redirecting them to phishing sites. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 14, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Fortinet FortiSOAR allows authenticated remote attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted HTTP requests, affecting both PaaS and on-premise deployments across versions 7.3 through 7.6.3. The vulnerability requires user interaction to trigger the payload and results in limited confidentiality and integrity impact, with a CVSS score of 4.6 reflecting the authentication requirement and user-interaction dependency. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade FortiSOAR on-premise to version 7.5.3 or later, or 7.6.4 or later for PaaS deployments, depending on which major version branch is deployed. Customers unable to immediately patch should restrict administrative access to trusted users only and implement network-level access controls limiting who can authenticate to FortiSOAR instances. Input validation and output encoding reviews should be performed on custom workflows or integrations that process user-supplied data. Fortinet's official guidance and patch availability confirmation is provided in advisory FG-IR-26-117 at https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-117.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability represents improper input neutralization during web page generation, classified under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). FortiSOAR is a security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platform developed by Fortinet, available in both cloud-based PaaS and on-premise deployment models. The affected CPE strings encompass cpe:2.3:a:fortinet:fortisoar_paas and cpe:2.3:a:fortinet:fortisoar_on-premise. An attacker with valid credentials can supply specially crafted input that bypasses output encoding mechanisms, allowing malicious JavaScript to be stored in the application and executed in the context of other users' browsers when they view affected content.
