Memory disclosure via redir format string
Published Jan 14, 2021 · Updated Oct 25, 2024
Format string injection in Fortinet FortiWeb 6.3.0 through 6.3.5 allows remote authenticated users to read process memory via redir. Fortinet identifies multiple request paths and the redir parameter but has not disclosed the affected handler or exact formatting call. A valid authenticated session is required, and the documented outcome is exposure of memory-resident sensitive data.
