Fortinet FortiOS < 6.0.14 / 6.2 < 6.2.10 / 6.4 < 6.4.8 / 7.0 < 7.0.3 Arbitrary File Download (FG-IR-21-201)

high Nessus Plugin ID 161892

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by an arbitrary file download.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS prior to 6.0.14, 6.2 prior to 6.2.10, 6.4 prior to 6.4.8, or 7.0 prior to 7.0.3.

It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary file download vulnerability that could allow a local authenticated attacker to download arbitrary files on the device via specially crafted update packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS version to 6.0.14, 6.2.10, 6.4.8, 7.0.3 or later.
