CVE-2025-24470Network attack vector

Source-code disclosure via Nginx off-by-slash path handling

Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 11, 2025

Path-equivalence flaw in Fortinet FortiPortal allows remote attackers to retrieve source code through crafted HTTP requests. An off-by-slash error in the Nginx configuration treats crafted path variants as aliases for application source files instead of rejecting them. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published impact is limited to source-code confidentiality.
