medium Nessus Plugin ID 249173

Synopsis

Fortinet Firewall is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FortiManager installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FG-IR-24-473 advisory.

 - An Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability [CWE-22] in Fortinet FortiManager version 7.6.0 through 7.6.1, 7.4.0 through 7.4.5, 7.2.0 through 7.2.9 and below 7.0.13 & FortiManager Cloud version 7.6.0 through 7.6.1, 7.4.0 through 7.4.5 and before 7.2.9 allows an authenticated remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via FGFM crafted requests. (CVE-2024-52964)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
