      <title>Authentication Vulnerability in FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager leads to Unauthenticated Admin Access</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/comment/48d3bc1d-ce6b-4a0d-93f6-aec07945969d</link>
      <description>### 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.</description>
