Fortinet FortiOS 5.4.6 <= 5.4.12 / 5.6.3 < 5.6.8 / 6.0.x < 6.0.5 SSL VPN Directory Traversal (FG-IR-18-384)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 125885

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS 5.4.6 prior or equal to 5.4.12, 5.6.3 prior to 5.6.8 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability in the SSL VPN web portal, due to an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted Directory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted HTTP request, to download arbitrary FortiOS system files.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS version to 5.6.8, 6.0.5, 6.2.0 or later. Alternatively, apply one of the workarounds outlined in the linked advisory.
