Fortinet FortiOS - Path Traversal in Execute Command (FG-IR-22-369)

high Nessus Plugin ID 172491

Language:

Synopsis

Fortinet Firewall is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FortiOS installed on the remote host is therefore, affected by a path traversal in execute command vulnerability. A improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory vulnerability ('path traversal') in FortiOS may allow a privileged attacker to read and write arbitrary files via crafted CLI commands.

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 Fortigate version to 6.2.14 / 6.4.12 / 7.0.10 / 7.2.4 or later.
