CVE-2020-7043 is a critical vulnerability in openfortivpn 1.11.0, specifically when used with OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.2. It stems from improper certificate validation in tunnel.c, where hostname comparisons fail to account for null characters, enabling an attacker to spoof legitimate certificates. With a CVSS score of 9.1 (CRITICAL), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with no user interaction, potentially leading to high confidentiality and integrity impacts. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
