An improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Fortinet FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer versions 7.4.0 through 7.4.2 and 7.2.0 through 7.2.5 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.12 and 6.4.0 through 6.4.14 and 6.2.0 through 6.2.12 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.12 allows attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands 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.
