Detection & IOCs extracted from sources · hover to see the quote

• → Authenticated OS command injection via crafted HTTP requests targeting FortiWeb; monitor for anomalous HTTP requests from authenticated sessions that contain shell metacharacters or command injection payloads directed at FortiWeb management interfaces ↗
• → Successful exploitation results in arbitrary shell code execution as root; monitor FortiWeb for unexpected root-level process spawning or shell execution originating from web service processes ↗

• · Vulnerability affects FortiWeb 7.0.0 through 7.0.1, 6.3.0 through 6.3.19, and 6.4 all versions; ensure detection scope covers all these version ranges ↗
• · Exploitation requires authentication; detection should focus on authenticated sessions exhibiting injection behavior, not unauthenticated traffic ↗
