Answer in brief
CVE-2023-42789 records a Critical severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in CVE Program Container. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps fortinet/fortios (generic), Fortinet/FortiOS (generic), fortinet/fortipam (generic), fortinet/fortiproxy (generic) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 9.8. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.
