FortiOS 6.4, FortiWeb 7.0, and FortiWeb 7.2 remain unaffected by these vulnerabilities.
Fortinet customers who identify related indicators of compromise (IoCs) should assume a breach and reset their hashed firewall credentials from the exposed configurations.
Workaround:
Fortinet recommends turning off the FortiCloud login feature (if enabled) temporarily until upgrading to a non-affected version.
To turn off FortiCloud login, go to System -> Settings -> Switch “Allow administrative login using FortiCloud SSO” to Off.
