Summary

FortiClient before 4.3.5.472 on Windows, before 4.0.3.134 on Mac OS X, and before 4.0 on Android; FortiClient Lite before 4.3.4.461 on Windows; FortiClient Lite 2.0 through 2.0.0223 on Android; and FortiClient SSL VPN before 4.0.2258 on Linux proceed with an SSL session after determining that the server's X.509 certificate is invalid, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging a password transmission that occurs before the user warning about the certificate problem.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
