Authenticated server file writes via path traversal
Published Sep 6, 2022 · Updated Oct 22, 2024
Path traversal in Fortinet FortiSOAR 7.2.0 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to write server files. The web API accepts crafted relative paths and writes outside the intended directory with nginx permissions. A valid account and network access to the web API are required; the published impact is filesystem modification, not code execution.
