AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote access control bypass in Fortinet FortiSandbox 4.2.x through 5.0.x - and its Cloud and PaaS variants - allows network-reachable attackers to retrieve sensitive information and disrupt availability by sending crafted HTTP requests, with no credentials or user interaction required. Fortinet's confirmed CVSS temporal metrics include E:P (proof-of-concept exploit code exists) alongside RL:O (official remediation available) and RC:C (confirmed), establishing this as an actively documented, patchable risk against sandboxing infrastructure that processes enterprise malware submissions. …
