What is CVE-2014-2723?

A platform-specific remote access vulnerability has been identified in multiple Fortinet FortiBalancer models that could allow a remote attacker to gain privileged access using SSH. This issue arises due to a misconfiguration rather than an inherent flaw in the SSH protocol itself. As a result, it is crucial for users of affected FortiBalancer systems to review their configurations and apply necessary security measures to mitigate potential unauthorized access.
