In most cases, the script will either output “Vulnerable” or “Patched”.
It performs minimal verification that the target is in fact a FortiOS SSL VPN, and in some cases it will print a warning before providing output.
If this happens, double check that your target is a FortiOS SSL VPN interface and not a management interface.
