Impact
This vulnerability is an OS command injection that allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating‑system commands on a FortiSandbox appliance via specially crafted HTTP requests, thereby compromising system integrity and confidentiality. The flaw results from improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command and is classified as CWE‑78.
Affected Systems
The affected products are Fortinet FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud and FortiSandbox PaaS. Any instance running FortiSandbox version 5.0.0 through 5.0.5, 4.4.0 through 4.4.8, and all 4.2.x releases is vulnerable. FortiSandbox Cloud is affected for versions 5.0.4 through 5.0.5 and FortiSandbox PaaS for versions 5.0.4 through 5.0.5.
Risk and Exploitability
The EPSS score of 23% indicates a moderate probability of exploitation in the wild, while the CVSS score of 9.1 reflects a very high severity impact. The flaw permits an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands via specially crafted HTTP requests, granting full remote code execution. Although not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, the combination of a high CVSS score and a 23% EPSS warrants urgent attention.
