CVE-2022-27485Network attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via SQL injection

Published Apr 11, 2023 · Updated Oct 22, 2024

SQL injection in Fortinet FortiSandbox allows remote authenticated users with read permission to retrieve arbitrary Linux files via HTTP. Fortinet has not published the affected endpoint or how its request values enter an SQL command; the advisory identifies only a crafted HTTP request. Exploitation requires an authenticated account with read permission and exposes files from the appliance's underlying Linux system without reported write or execution impact.
