AI-suggested

1. Restrict CLI access strictly to trusted administrators and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible. 2. Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) to minimize the number of users with read-write admin privileges on FortiPAM. 3. Monitor and audit CLI commands and administrator activities to detect unusual or unauthorized diagnose command usage. 4. Segregate administrative duties to reduce risk of a single compromised admin account leading to widespread credential exposure. 5. Apply Fortinet security updates and patches promptly once available to address this vulnerability. 6. Consider encrypting sensitive data in memory if configurable or request Fortinet for secure handling improvements. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on privileged access management systems. 8. Educate administrators on the risks of credential exposure and enforce secure credential management practices. 9. Limit network access to FortiPAM management interfaces to trusted networks and use VPNs or jump hosts for remote access. 10. Maintain an incident response plan that includes procedures for credential compromise scenarios.

Description

A Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in Memory vulnerability [CWE-316] in Fortinet FortiPAM 1.6.0, FortiPAM 1.5 all versions, FortiPAM 1.4 all versions, FortiPAM 1.3 all versions, FortiPAM 1.2 all versions, FortiPAM 1.1 all versions, FortiPAM 1.0 all versions may allow an authenticated attacker with read-write admin privileges to the CLI to obtain other administrators' credentials via diagnose commands.
