FortiCloud SSO authentication bypass in Fortinet FortiWeb

IdentifiersCVE-2025-59719CWE-347· Improper Verification of…

CVE-2025-59719 is an improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in Fortinet FortiWeb’s FortiCloud single sign-on (SSO) authentication flow. According to the provided content, affected versions are FortiWeb 8.0.0, 7.6.0 through 7.6.4, and 7.4.0 through 7.4.9. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to submit a crafted SAML response message that is accepted despite improper signature verification, resulting in bypass of FortiCloud SSO login authentication when that feature is enabled on the device.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass FortiCloud SSO administrative authentication on affected FortiWeb devices and obtain unauthorized access. The supporting content further indicates that in real-world Fortinet SSO abuse, attackers have used this class of access to create persistent administrator accounts, export or download device configuration files, and leverage the compromised appliance as a foothold for broader compromise.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, disable the FortiCloud SSO login feature until the device is upgraded. The provided Fortinet advisory guidance states this can be done in the GUI under System -> Settings by turning off 'Allow administrative login using FortiCloud SSO', or via CLI with: 'config system global', 'set admin-forticloud-sso-login disable', 'end'. Additional defensive measures mentioned in the content include restricting management access to trusted hosts or networks only and auditing for unauthorized administrator accounts or suspicious SSO logins.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade FortiWeb to a fixed release. Based on the provided content, vulnerable versions and fixes are: FortiWeb 8.0.0 -> upgrade to 8.0.1 or later; FortiWeb 7.6.0 through 7.6.4 -> upgrade to 7.6.5 or later; FortiWeb 7.4.0 through 7.4.9 -> upgrade to 7.4.10 or later. Use Fortinet’s recommended upgrade path/tooling where applicable.
