Fortinet FortiOS 7.0.x < 7.0.2 Path Traversal (FG-IR-21-181)

high Nessus Plugin ID 158390

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a path traversal vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS that is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a path traversal vulnerability that may allow an unauthenticated, unauthorized attacker to inject path traversal character sequences to disclose sensitive information of the server via the GET request of the login page.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

See vendor advisory.
