CVE-2024-47575
A missing authentication for critical function in FortiManager 7.6.0, FortiManager 7.4.0 through 7.4.4, FortiManager 7.2.0 through 7.2.7, FortiManager 7.0.0 through 7.0.12, FortiManager 6.4.0 through 6.4.14, FortiManager 6.2.0 through 6.2.12, Fortinet FortiManager Cloud 7.4.1 through 7.4.4, FortiManager Cloud 7.2.1 through 7.2.7, FortiManager Cloud 7.0.1 through 7.0.12, FortiManager Cloud 6.4.1 through 6.4.7 allows attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specially crafted requests.
do firstApply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Can a WAF block it? No. The vulnerability involves missing authentication for a critical function accessed via specially crafted HTTP requests. Because the requests appear legitimate and lack authentication checks, a web application firewall cannot reliably distinguish malicious requests from normal ones.

Is CVE-2024-47575 being exploited?
Yes. CVE-2024-47575 appears in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which means exploitation in the wild has been confirmed and reported. Treat it as active rather than theoretical, and patch it ahead of higher-scoring vulnerabilities that carry no exploitation evidence.
How severe is CVE-2024-47575?
CVE-2024-47575 is rated Critical with a CVSS score of 9.8. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.
Is there a patch for CVE-2024-47575?
Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2024-47575. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.
What does CVE-2024-47575 affect?
CVE-2024-47575 affects fortinet:fortimanager, fortinet:fortimanager_cloud. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.
Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.
