An improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability [CWE-23] in FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager management interface 7.2.0 through 7.2.1, 7.0.0 through 7.0.5, 6.4 all versions may allow a remote and authenticated attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the underlying filesystem via specially crafted web requests.
Solution:
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
