    <content>### Risks

FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager are core components of Fortinet’s network security and management infrastructure, which provide firewalling, proxy services, and centralized switch management.

CVE-2025-22252 is a missing authentication vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker with knowledge of an existing admin account to access the device as a valid admin. Exploitation of this flaw could grant attackers unauthorized control over network infrastructure, threatening confidentiality through data exposure, integrity via configuration tampering, and availability by disrupting critical services.


### Description

CVE-2025-22252 is a missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in devices configured to use a remote TACACS+ server for authentication configured to use ASCII authentication. It may allow an attacker with knowledge of an existing admin account to access the device as a valid admin via an authentication bypass, potentially resulting in complete system compromise, data theft and service disruption.</content>
