Impact
An out‑of‑bounds write flaw exists in Fortinet FortiWeb firmware versions 8.0.0 through 8.0.3, 7.6.0 through 7.6.6, and 7.4.0 through 7.4.11. A privileged attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests that trigger a memory corruption, allowing remote execution of arbitrary code or system commands. This flaw compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the impacted Web Application Firewall, potentially giving an attacker full control over the appliance.
