CVE-2022-41328 is a path traversal vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS caused by improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory. It affects FortiOS 7.2.0 through 7.2.3, 7.0.0 through 7.0.9, versions before 6.4.11, and reporting also indicates all versions in the 6.0 and 6.2 branches are affected. The flaw can be triggered through crafted CLI commands and allows a privileged attacker to escape intended filesystem restrictions and perform arbitrary file read and write operations on the underlying Linux system. Observed exploitation showed the vulnerability being used to upload or replace files outside normal bounds, enabling modification of system components and deployment of implants. In incident reporting, the vulnerability was associated with attempts to replace executable components and with broader compromise of FortiGate devices managed through FortiManager.
