Exposed IOCTL with Insufficient Access Control in FortiClient Windows fortips driver
CVE-2025-47761 is an exposed IOCTL with insufficient access control vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClient Windows affecting versions 7.4.0 through 7.4.3 and 7.2.0 through 7.2.9. The flaw is in the fortips driver, which exposes IOCTL functionality to an authenticated local user without sufficient access restrictions. Under the required conditions, a local attacker can abuse the driver interface to execute unauthorized code. The vendor notes that successful exploitation also requires bypassing Windows memory protections such as heap integrity and HSP, and that a valid, active VPN IPSec connection must be present.
