Unauthenticated URL redirection via crafted password-change request
Published Mar 15, 2020 · Updated Oct 25, 2024
Open redirect in Fortinet FortiOS 5.4.0 through 6.0.8, 6.2.0, and 6.2.1 allows remote attackers to redirect users through the admin webUI. The initial password-change page accepts a crafted request and uses an attacker-controlled redirect target without adequate validation; Fortinet has not disclosed the parameter or code locus. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires user interaction, and the reported consequence is redirection to an attacker-chosen URL.
