The flaw lies in the FortiGate to FortiManager Protocol (FGFM), which is designed for deployment scenarios where NAT traversal is needed. By abusing the vulnerability, attacks have been reported where the attacker attempted to register a new “local device” with a serial number.
Once registered, an attacker can exploit this to gain RCE on FortiManager itself.

From there, the attacker has access to the FortiManager’s managed firewalls, enabling them to view configuration files, alter device settings, and escalate further into downstream networks.

Fortinet’s advisory highlights IOCs observed and mitigations.
