CVE-2018-13380

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.1)—💥 Exploit

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS 6.0.0 to 6.0.4, 5.6.0 to 5.6.7, 5.4.0 to 5.4.12, 5.2 and below and Fortinet FortiProxy 2.0.0, 1.2.8 and below under SSL VPN web portal allows attacker to execute unauthorized malicious script code via the error or message handling parameters.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
