Authenticated command execution via sniffer configuration injection
Published Jul 20, 2021 · Updated Oct 25, 2024
OS command injection in the sniffer module of Fortinet FortiSandbox before 3.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute shell commands. The sniffer configuration path passes administrator-altered configuration content to the underlying system shell without neutralizing command metacharacters. Administrative authentication and permission to modify that configuration are required; successful exploitation executes commands with the appliance process privileges.
