Description

Multiple Zoho ManageEngine on-premise products, such as ServiceDesk Plus through 14003, allow remote code execution due to use of Apache Santuario xmlsec (aka XML Security for Java) 1.4.1, because the xmlsec XSLT features, by design in that version, make the application responsible for certain security protections, and the ManageEngine applications did not provide those protections. This affects Access Manager Plus before 4308, Active Directory 360 before 4310, ADAudit Plus before 7081, ADManager Plus before 7162, ADSelfService Plus before 6211, Analytics Plus before 5150, Application Control Plus before 10.1.2220.18, Asset Explorer before 6983, Browser Security Plus before 11.1.2238.6, Device Control Plus before 10.1.2220.18, Endpoint Central before 10.1.2228.11, Endpoint Central MSP before 10.1.2228.11, Endpoint DLP before 10.1.2137.6, Key Manager Plus before 6401, OS Deployer before 1.1.2243.1, PAM 360 before 5713, Password Manager Pro before 12124, Patch Manager Plus before 10.1.2220.18, Remote Access Plus before 10.1.2228.11, Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) before 10.1.41. ServiceDesk Plus before 14004, ServiceDesk Plus MSP before 13001, SupportCenter Plus before 11026, and Vulnerability Manager Plus before 10.1.2220.18. Exploitation is only possible if SAML SSO has ever been configured for a product (for some products, exploitation requires that SAML SSO is currently active).

CVE-2025-32756: Zero-Day Vulnerability in Multiple Fortinet Products Exploited in the Wild

Tenable Blog · May 14, 2025

Fortinet has observed threat actors exploiting CVE-2025-32756, a critical zero-day arbitrary code execution vulnerability which affects multiple Fortinet products including FortiVoice, FortiMail, FortiNDR, FortiRecorder and FortiCamera.BackgroundOn May 13th, Fortinet published a security advisory (FG-IR-25-254) for CVE-2025-32756, a critical arbitrary code execution vulnerability affecting multiple Fortinet products.CVEDescriptionCVSSv3CVE-2025-32756An arbitrary code execution vulnerability in FortiVoice, FortiMail, FortiNDR, FortiRecorder and FortiCamera9.6AnalysisCVE-2025-32756 is an arbitrary code execution vulnerability affecting multiple Fortinet products including FortiVoice, FortiMail, FortiNDR, FortiRecorder and FortiCamera. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests in order to create a stack-based overflow condition which would allow for the execution of arbitrary code. This vulnerability was discovered by the Fortinet Product Security Team who observed threat activity involving a device running FortiVoice.According to Fortinet, the threat actors operations included scanning the network, erasing system crashlogs and enabling ‘fcgi debugging’ which is used to log authentication attempts, including SSH logins. The ‘fcgi debugging’ option is not enabled by default and the Fortinet advisory recommends reviewing the setting as one possible indicator of compromise (IoC).Historical Exploitation of Fortinet DevicesFortinet vulnerabilities have historically been common targets for cyber attackers, and CVE-2025-32756 is the eighteenth Fortinet vulnerability to be added to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list.CVEDescriptionPatchedTenable BlogCVE-2024-55591Fortinet Authentication Bypass in FortiOS and FortiProxyJanuary 2025CVE-2024-55591: Fortinet Authentication Bypass Zero-Day Vulnerability Exploited in the WildCVE-2024-21762Fortinet FortiOS Out-of-bound Write Vulnerability...
