Fortinet FortiSIEM OS Command Injection Vulnerability Allowing Remote Code Execution

Vulnerability

A command injection vulnerability has been identified in Fortinet FortiSIEM versions 7.4.0, 7.3.0 through 7.3.4, 7.1.0 through 7.1.8, 7.0.0 through 7.0.4, and 6.7.0 through 6.7.10. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands by sending crafted TCP requests. The issue arises from improper handling of special elements in OS commands, creating an opportunity for command injection exploitation.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized code execution on the affected system.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a crafted TCP request to the FortiSIEM server. The request must be designed to exploit the OS command injection flaw by injecting malicious commands or code into the TCP payload. Once the crafted request is received, the injected commands will be executed on the server, leading to unauthorized code execution.

Remediation

Users can upgrade Fortinet FortiSIEM to version 7.4.1 or above, 7.3.5 or above, 7.2.7 or above, or 7.1.9 or above, depending on their current version. For FortiSIEM 7.0 and 6.7, users should migrate to a fixed release.
