DescriptionCVE.org

A path traversal: '../filedir' vulnerability in Fortinet FortiSandbox 5.0.0 through 5.0.5, FortiSandbox 4.4.0 through 4.4.8 may allow attacker to escalation of privilege via <insert attack vector here>

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Fortinet FortiSandbox 4.4.0-4.4.8 and 5.0.0-5.0.5 enables remote unauthenticated attackers to achieve full system compromise. With CVSS 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), the vulnerability permits network-based exploitation without credentials or user interaction, leading to complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Despite critical severity, EPSS score of 0.06% (18th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV). SSVC framework marks it as automatable with total technical impact but no current exploitation. The incomplete CVE description (placeholder text for attack vector) suggests early disclosure; verify completeness with Fortinet advisory FG-IR-26-112.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-24 (Path Traversal: '../filedir') indicates improper neutralization of directory traversal sequences in file path handling. FortiSandbox is Fortinet's malware analysis and threat intelligence platform, processing uploaded files for behavioral analysis. Affected products per CPE data include FortiSandbox on-premise appliances (versions 4.4.0-4.4.8 and 5.0.0-5.0.5) and FortiSandbox Cloud (versions 23.4, 24.1, and 5.0.4-5.0.5). Path traversal vulnerabilities typically arise when user-controlled input influences file system operations without adequate sanitization of '../' sequences, allowing access to files outside intended directories. Combined with the privilege escalation tag and CVSS impact metrics (C:H/I:H/A:H), this suggests the flaw enables reading, writing, or executing files with elevated privileges, potentially accessing sensitive configuration files, credentials, or system binaries. The network attack vector (AV:N) indicates exposure through FortiSandbox's web management interface or API endpoints rather than requiring local access.

RemediationAI

Upgrade FortiSandbox on-premise appliances to versions beyond 5.0.5 or 4.4.8 as specified in Fortinet advisory FG-IR-26-112 (https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-26-112). For FortiSandbox Cloud, upgrade beyond versions 24.1 and 5.0.5 per vendor guidance. Until patching is completed, restrict network access to FortiSandbox management interfaces using firewall rules permitting only trusted administrator IP addresses (trade-off: reduces operational flexibility for remote management). Disable internet-facing access to FortiSandbox web interfaces and APIs, requiring VPN or jump host access for administration (trade-off: increases administrative overhead). Monitor FortiSandbox logs for unusual file access patterns, unexpected administrative actions, or access from unauthorized source IPs as potential exploitation indicators. Review FortiSandbox user accounts and privileges to ensure least-privilege access, limiting the impact should credentials be compromised through this vulnerability. Given the path traversal nature, verify file upload functionality is disabled or restricted to authenticated trusted users only (trade-off: may impact automated malware submission workflows).
