CVE-2022-38372
A hidden functionality vulnerability [CWE-1242] in FortiTester CLI 2.3.0 through 3.9.1, 4.0.0 through 4.2.0, 7.0.0 through 7.1.0 may allow a local, privileged user to obtain a root shell on the device via an undocumented command.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
