CVE-2023-48785
An improper certificate validation vulnerability [CWE-295] in FortiNAC-F version 7.2.4 and below may allow a remote and unauthenticated attacker to perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack on the HTTPS communication channel between the FortiOS device, an inventory, and FortiNAC-F.
This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without credentials or user interaction. Until patched: block access to the affected service from the internet using firewall rules or ACLs. Only allow access from trusted IPs.
Firewall vulnerabilities are high-value targets — they sit at the network perimeter. Download the patched firmware from the vendor's official PSIRT page. Schedule an off-hours maintenance window to avoid business disruption during the update.
The firewall management portal (web UI, SSH, API) should never be exposed directly to the internet. Restrict management access to internal IPs or a dedicated management VLAN only.
