Description

A blind SQL injection in the user interface of FortiWeb 6.3.0 through 6.3.7 and version before 6.2.4 may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries or commands by sending a request with a crafted Authorization header containing a malicious SQL statement.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
