Fortinet Multiple Products Format String Vulnerability — Fortinet FortiOS, FortiPAM, FortiProxy, and FortiWeb contain a format string vulnerability that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specially crafted requests. Listed in the CISA KEV catalog (added 2024-10-09) — confirmed exploited in the wild, not theoretical. FIRST EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at ~62%. Treat it as real and prioritize remediation over triage.
- 0
Required action for Fortinet Multiple Products: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. CISA set a federal remediation due date of 2024-10-30. After patching, verify the vulnerable path is no longer reachable before closing the finding.

Ruby JSON is a JSON implementation for Ruby. From version 2.14.0 to before versions 2.15.2.1, 2.17.1.2, and 2.19.2, a format string injection vulnerability can lead to denial of service attacks or information disclosure, when the allow_duplicate_key: false parsing option is used to parse user supplied documents.

The egg-mkfont utility in Panda3D versions up to and including 1.10.16 contains an uncontrolled format string vulnerability. The -gp (glyph pattern) command-line option is used directly as the format string for sprintf() with only a single argument supplied. If an attacker provides additional format specifiers, egg-mkfont may read unintended stack values and write the formatted output into generated .egg and .png files, resulting in disclosure of stack-resident memory and pointer values.

Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera CDeviceOperator Format String Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Cameras. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JSON requests in the sonia binary. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it as a format specifier. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-25884.
