Description

This exploit module exploits an authentication bypass via path traversal vulnerability in the Fortinet
FortiWeb management interface to create a new local administrator user account. From there a command
injection vulnerability is leveraged to achieve RCE with root privileges.

The auth bypass CVE-2025-64446 affects the following versions:

* FortiWeb 8.0.0 through 8.0.1 (Patched in 8.0.2 and above)
* FortiWeb 7.6.0 through 7.6.4 (Patched in 7.6.5 and above)
* FortiWeb 7.4.0 through 7.4.9 (Patched in 7.4.10 and above)
* FortiWeb 7.2.0 through 7.2.11 (Patched in 7.2.12 and above)
* FortiWeb 7.0.0 through 7.0.11 (Patched in 7.0.12 and above)

The command injection CVE-2025-58034 affects the following versions (Note the 7.6 and 7.4 branches are very
slightly different when compared to the patch versions for CVE-2025-64446:

* FortiWeb 8.0.0 through 8.0.1 (Patched in 8.0.2 and above)
* FortiWeb 7.6.0 through 7.6.5 (Patched in 7.6.6 and above) * FortiWeb 7.4.0 through 7.4.10 (Patched in 7.4.11 and above) * FortiWeb 7.2.0 through 7.2.11 (Patched in 7.2.12 and above)
* FortiWeb 7.0.0 through 7.0.11 (Patched in 7.0.12 and above)
