DescriptionCVE.org

An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability [CWE-78] vulnerability in Fortinet FortiWeb 8.0.0 through 8.0.1, FortiWeb 7.6.0 through 7.6.5, FortiWeb 7.4.0 through 7.4.10, FortiWeb 7.2.0 through 7.2.11, FortiWeb 7.0.0 through 7.0.11 may allow an authenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code on the underlying system via crafted HTTP requests or CLI commands.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using Fortinet FortiWeb 8.0.0 face moderate risk from CVE-2025-58034, a OS command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 7.2. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild (KEV-listed) and requires immediate remediation. Immediate patching is required per CISA KEV mandate.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
