Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Fortinet FortiNAC, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. FortiNAC is a network access control solution offered by Fortinet that manages network-wide access policies, gains visibility of devices and users, and secures the network against unauthorized access and threats.
