Summary
Fortinet FortiWeb (versions 8.0.0–8.0.3, 7.6.0–7.6.6, 7.4.0–7.4.11, all 7.2, all 7.0) contains a stack-based buffer overflow. A remote authenticated attacker able to bypass stack protection and ASLR can execute arbitrary code or commands via crafted HTTP requests.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated attacker could achieve remote code execution on the FortiWeb appliance, risking full compromise of the device and network infrastructure. This requires bypassing stack protection and ASLR, but the impact is critical.
Recommendation
Upgrade FortiWeb to the version with the Fortinet-provided fix. Restrict administrative access and monitor for suspicious HTTP requests.
