Summary
A cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in Fortinet FortiSOAR (PaaS and on-premise versions) allows an authenticated attacker to view cleartext passwords in responses to Secure Message Exchange and Radius queries, if configured. The issue involves sending sensitive data in an unencrypted form.
Risk Assessment
The organization is at risk of password leakage used in integrations with Secure Message Exchange and Radius, potentially leading to unauthorized system access and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Immediately update FortiSOAR to a patched version (e.g., 7.6.4 or later for PaaS and 7.6.3 for on-premise) and review Secure Message Exchange and Radius configurations to ensure passwords are not stored in cleartext.
