An improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability [CWE-22] in Fortinet FortiManager version 7.4.0 through 7.4.2 and below 7.2.5, FortiAnalyzer version 7.4.0 through 7.4.2 and below 7.2.5 & FortiAnalyzer-BigData version 7.4.0 and below 7.2.7 allows a privileged attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying system via crafted HTTP or HTTPs 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.
