A server-side request forgery vulnerability [CWE-918] in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer version 7.4.0, version 7.2.0 through 7.2.3 and before 7.0.8 and FortiManager version 7.4.0, version 7.2.0 through 7.2.3 and before 7.0.8 allows a remote attacker with low privileges to view sensitive data from internal servers or perform a local port scan via a crafted HTTP request.
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.
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
