Authenticated file read and write via path traversal
Published Feb 16, 2023 · Updated Oct 23, 2024
Path traversal in Fortinet FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitch Manager allows remote authenticated users to read or write Linux files. The administrative HTTP interface accepts crafted relative paths for filesystem access, but Fortinet has not disclosed the affected handler or validation failure. Administrative credentials and network access to that interface are required; successful requests can disclose or alter files on the underlying system.
