info:
  name: FortiWLM - Directory Traversal
  author: DhiyaneshDk
  severity: critical
  description: |
    A relative path traversal in Fortinet FortiWLM version 8.6.0 through 8.6.5 and 8.5.0 through 8.5.4 allows attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via specially crafted web requests.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can exploit path traversal through the imagename parameter in ezrf_lighttpd.cgi to read arbitrary files and potentially execute unauthorized code, compromising the entire Fortinet FortiWLM wireless LAN management system.
  remediation: |
    Update Fortinet FortiWLM to version 8.6.6 or 8.5.5 or later that validates file paths in ezrf_lighttpd.cgi and prevents directory traversal attacks.
