CVE-2016-8495
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.4)—
An improper certificate validation vulnerability in Fortinet FortiManager 5.0.6 through 5.2.7 and 5.4.0 through 5.4.1 allows remote attacker to spoof a trusted entity by using a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack via the Fortisandbox devices probing feature.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Base score: 7.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.90%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 58
- Score date: 10/3/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
