Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-59718
Fortinet FortiOS, FortiSwitchManager, FortiProxy, and FortiWeb fail to properly verify cryptographic signatures on SAML messages, letting an unauthenticated attacker bypass FortiCloud SSO login with a crafted assertion. It is rated Critical at CVSS 9.8 with a 66% EPSS score, confirmed exploited since 2025-12-16. Signature verification bypasses in SSO are devastating because the forged login looks legitimate in every log downstream.
Do this: Update affected Fortinet products and disable FortiCloud SSO on devices you cannot patch immediately.
