AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability involves multiple relative path traversal issues in certain versions of Fortinet products such as FortiMail, FortiVoice, FortiRecorder, FortiCamera, and FortiNDR. A privileged attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted CLI requests to read files from the underlying filesystem that they should not normally have access to.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability allows a privileged attacker to read sensitive files from the system's filesystem without proper authorization. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, potentially compromising system security and confidentiality.
