CVE-2024-23113 is a critical externally controlled format string vulnerability in the fgfmd daemon, the FortiGate/FortiManager communication component, affecting multiple Fortinet products including FortiOS, FortiProxy, FortiPAM, and FortiSwitchManager. The flaw allows attacker-controlled input from specially crafted network requests or packets to be used in a format string context, creating a path to unauthorized code or command execution. Reported affected versions include FortiOS 7.4.0 through 7.4.2, 7.2.0 through 7.2.6, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.13; FortiProxy 7.4.0 through 7.4.2, 7.2.0 through 7.2.8, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.14; FortiPAM 1.2.0, 1.1.0 through 1.1.2, and 1.0.0 through 1.0.3; and FortiSwitchManager 7.2.0 through 7.2.3 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.3. The vulnerability has been described as remotely reachable and unauthenticated in the affected deployment scenarios discussed in the available reporting.
