AI-suggested

1. Apply patches or firmware updates from Fortinet as soon as they become available to address CVE-2025-49813. 2. Restrict administrative access to FortiADC management interfaces using network segmentation, VPNs, and IP whitelisting to limit exposure to trusted personnel only. 3. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual command execution patterns or unauthorized access attempts to detect exploitation attempts early. 5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments on FortiADC devices to identify and remediate misconfigurations or weaknesses. 6. Implement the principle of least privilege for user accounts accessing FortiADC to minimize the impact of compromised credentials. 7. Use Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) capable of detecting and blocking command injection attempts targeting FortiADC HTTP parameters. 8. Educate administrators about the risks of this vulnerability and the importance of timely patching and secure access controls.

Description

An improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS Command ("OS Command Injection") vulnerability [CWE-78] in Fortinet FortiADC version 7.2.0 and before 7.1.1 allows a remote and authenticated attacker with low privilege to execute unauthorized code via specifically crafted HTTP parameters.
