CVE-2025-67604
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA use of potentially dangerous function vulnerability in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer 7.6.0 through 7.6.4, FortiAnalyzer 7.4.0 through 7.4.8, FortiAnalyzer 7.2 all versions, FortiAnalyzer 7.0 all versions, FortiAnalyzer 6.4 all versions, FortiManager 7.6.0 through 7.6.4, FortiManager 7.4.0 through 7.4.8, FortiManager 7.2 all versions, FortiManager 7.0 all versions, FortiManager 6.4 all versions may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a system hang via multiple specially crafted HTTP requests causing crashes. This happens if internal locks are aligned, which is out of control of the attacker.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA use of potentially dangerous function vulnerability in FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager allows authenticated attackers to cause system hang/crashes via specially crafted HTTP requests. The crash occurs when internal locks become aligned, though this lock alignment condition is noted as out of the attacker's control, suggesting unreliable exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check FortiAnalyzer versionRun command: get system status or fnsysctl get system status on the FortiAnalyzer CLIAffected if The version falls within 7.2.0-7.2.12, 7.4.0-7.4.8, or 7.6.0-7.6.4
-
Check FortiManager versionRun command: get system status or fnsysctl get system status on the FortiManager CLIAffected if The version falls within 7.2.0-7.2.12, 7.4.0-7.4.8, or 7.6.0-7.6.4
-
Verify HTTP service is enabledCheck admin interface accessibility via GUI or CLI: get system interface or show system interface in CLIAffected if The web administration interface is exposed and reachable from network segments where attackers could send HTTP requests
-
Identify authentication method in useReview admin user configuration: get admin user or show system admin in CLIAffected if The system allows authenticated attacker access, meaning any admin-level account could trigger the vulnerable code path with crafted HTTP requests
-
Check for crash logs or system hang eventsReview system logs: execute log filter category 2; execute diag crashlog show or check /var/log/gui_event.logAffected if Recent crash logs or system hang events correlate with HTTP request activity from admin accounts
A system is affected if it runs a vulnerable FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager version (7.2.0-7.2.12, 7.4.0-7.4.8, or 7.6.0-7.6.4) with the HTTP admin interface accessible to authenticated users who could send specially crafted requests.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped7.4.97.6.5
Apply the vendor patch for FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager to address the affected versions. Since authentication is required, ensure least-privilege access controls and monitor for anomalous HTTP traffic patterns.
FortiAnalyzer/FortiManager 7.2.13+, 7.4.9+, or 7.6.5+ (depending on your major version branch)
- 1. Identify the current FortiAnalyzer and/or FortiManager version running in your environment
- 2. For FortiAnalyzer 7.2.x: Upgrade to version 7.2.13 or later
- 3. For FortiAnalyzer 7.4.x: Upgrade to version 7.4.9 or later
- 4. For FortiAnalyzer 7.6.x: Upgrade to version 7.6.5 or later
- 5. For FortiManager 7.2.x: Upgrade to version 7.2.13 or later
- 6. For FortiManager 7.4.x: Upgrade to version 7.4.9 or later
- 7. For FortiManager 7.6.x: Upgrade to version 7.6.5 or later
- 8. Verify the upgrade was successful and the system is operational
