Descriptions

A improper neutralization of special elements used in an os command ('os command injection') in Fortinet FortiWeb 7.0.0 through 7.6.0 allows attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via crafted input.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Fortinet FortiWeb. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the gui_upload_compress_act function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of root.
