952675

FortiSandbox integration test does not work as expected.

N/A

No support for organization-specific Aggregators in multi-tenancy setups.

N/A

(On-premise) Error when uploading a server certificate in the Central Manager, resulting in failure or the manager being down (application fails to start).

Workaround: Use the POST REST API (https://[host-ip]/maintenance/upload-certificate) with admin user or contact Fortinet Support to load it via admin user.

When you run a Threat Hunting query, the response time can vary depending on the selected "Time" and the amount of collected data. When the time is set to 30 days, the query can run for a few minutes.

982543

Cannot move a Collector to a different group via Rest API.

973252

Disconnected Collectors using an old registration password that was deleted from the Console are incorrectly classified as expired (with a status of "Disconnected (Expired)" instead of "Disconnected") and are excluded from license count.

941462

Upgrade to Central Manager build 5.2.0.3051 might fail in case of LDAP settings with no gateway.

N/A

Central Manager version 5.2.0.2387 or below does not work with Threat Hunting Repository version 5.2.0.2524.

Workaround: Upgrade the Central Manager, preferably to the GA version.

907362

Remote shell does not work on Windows XP and Windows server 2003.

842110

In some network configurations, a rare issue might cause collectors to be detected as IoT devices.

734616

The Advanced Search feature for Applications retrieves an application even if only some, rather than all, of the search parameters match specific versions of the application, which results in an empty application dropdown in some cases.

837675

No on-premise support before Central Manager build 5.2.0.2325.

812319

FortiEDR Connect cannot be used to run commands that are user-interactive

811290

It is not possible to redirect FortiEDR web to a URL that is different than the one provided by Fortinet.

809060

FortiEDR Connect session may be disconnected due to inactivity of the FortiEDR Console, even though the Connect session is active.

807930

Workaround: Use different Azure accounts for different FortiEDR organizations.

765785

In the presence of an email filtering system and/or a mail transfer agent that modifies the URL content, the installer download URL might include space(s) or %20s in it, which are added by the system/agent. This results in a signature error message from the installer storage.

Workaround: In such cases, the URL should be amended to drop the redundant space/%20 before it can be used.

765648

On Linux, threat hunting exclusions only work in kernel space mode, not in user space mode.

759573

Collector upgrade via custom installer requires password.

734594

734309

NGAV scan of specific Collectors/Groups scan all Collectors.

733603

Downgrading the Collector Version: When downgrading and restarting a device, the Collector does not start.

Workaround: Uninstall the Collector, reboot the device and then install the older version.

733601

Isolation and communication control connection denial are not supported with Oracle Linux Collectors.

733600

A newly created API user cannot connect to the system via the API.

Workaround: Before sending API commands, a new user with the API role should log into the system at least once in order to set the user’s password.

733560

SAML Authentication can fail when used with Azure SSO due to exceeded time skew.

Workaround: Sign out and then sign in again to Azure so that the date and time provided to FortiEDR are refreshed.

733559

Some AV Products, including Windows Defender and some versions of FortiClient, require that their realtime protection be disabled in order to be installed alongside a FortiEDR Collector.

This is the result of FortiEDR registration as an antivirus (AV) in the Microsoft Security Center that was introduced in V4.0. Although there is no need for more than a single AV product to be installed on a device, FortiEDR can be smoothly installed, even if there is another AV already running. However, there are some other products whose installation fails when there are other AV products already registered.

Workaround: Disable realtime protection on the other product, or remove FortiEDR’s AV registration with Microsoft Security Centervia UI.

733557

A Collector may fail to install or upgrade on old Windows 7 and Server 2008 devices that cannot decrypt strong ciphers with which FortiEDR Collector is signed.

Workaround: Patch Windows with Microsoft KB that provides SHA-256 code sign support.

733550

Upgrading from Older Versions: A direct upgrade path for backend components (Central Manager, Aggregator, Core, Threat Hunting Repository) of V5.0.2 or earlier is not supported.

Workaround: Upgrade the older environment to V5.0.3 before upgrading it to V5.2.

733548

Component Backward Compatibility: v5.2 Central Manager supports Cores/Collectors from older versions with limited functionality. Some new features introduced in later versions may not be available.

854124

An issue with suspicious driver FP events caused by the Core 5.2.0.2293 build.

Workaround: Upgrade the Core to build 5.2.0.2300 or upgrade Content to 7431.

889422

Remote shell connection cannot be established if collector connects to aggregator via a proxy server.
