Summary

Fortinet FortiWan, prior to version 4.2.5, is susceptible to an arbitrary command execution vulnerability. This issue arises when remote authenticated users, who have access to the nslookup functionality, exploit the graph parameter in diagnosis_control.php to execute commands with root privileges. This could potentially allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions on the system, highlighting the importance of updating to the latest version to mitigate associated risks.
