CVE-2024-23108Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Root command execution via unsanitized NFS mount point

Published Feb 5, 2024 · Updated May 19, 2026

OS command injection in Fortinet FortiSIEM 6.4.0 through 7.1.1 allows remote attackers to execute commands as root via crafted API requests. The phMonitor service passes an attacker-controlled NFS mount_point through datastore.py to __testMount(), which formats it into an os.system() command. No authentication or user interaction is required; network access to TCP port 7900 exposes complete appliance compromise.
