VAR-202512-0955
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-12-20 23:46An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability [CWE-78] vulnerability in Fortinet FortiSandbox 5.0.0 through 5.0.2, FortiSandbox 4.4.0 through 4.4.7, FortiSandbox 4.2 all versions, FortiSandbox 4.0 all versions may allow an authenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code on the underlying system via crafted HTTP requests. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Fortinet FortiSandbox. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists within the handling of the names parameter provided to the admindel_confirm endpoint. 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 vulnerability to execute code in the context of root
