CVE-2024-40584Network attack vector

Privileged command execution via crafted GUI requests

Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

OS command injection in the Fortinet FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer GUI allows remote authenticated users to run commands via crafted HTTP requests. Fortinet identifies the GUI as the affected component but has not published the request field, endpoint, or command-building operation that fails to neutralize input. A privileged administrative account and network access to the HTTP or HTTPS management interface are required; successful exploitation runs unauthorized commands on the appliance.
