The FortiManager protocol service in Fortinet FortiOS before 4.3.16 and 5.x before 5.0.8 on FortiGate devices does not prevent use of anonymous ciphersuites, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information or interfere with communications by modifying the client-server data stream.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.
