AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

FortiSIEM 7.3.0-7.3.4 and 7.4.0 are vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject malicious scripts through URL parameters, enabling social engineering attacks against users who click malicious links. The vulnerability requires user interaction to trigger but has no authentication requirements, making it practical for phishing campaigns that redirect victims to spoofed pages.
