An improper authentication in Fortinet FortiManager version 6.4.3 and below, 6.2.6 and below allows attacker to assign arbitrary Policy and Object modules via crafted requests to the request handler.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
