Critical · published July 17, 2025
CVSS calls it critical at 9.6. It is confirmed in active exploitation. It sits in the 100.0th percentile for exploit probability.
🚨 Unauthenticated SQL injections are like leaving an open window for intruders — and that’s exactly what’s happening in Fortinet FortiWeb versions 7.6.0 to 7.6.3, among others! 🔥 Think of FortiWeb as a restaurant that lets anyone walk in and directly place orders in the kitchen without any checks. An attacker can send specially crafted requests that manipulate the SQL commands, like a diner sneaking in their own recipe and having the chef prepare it without question. An attacker could exploit this flaw to run any SQL code on the server, potentially accessing sensitive data, modifying records, or even deleting everything! The damage could be absolutely devastating, giving malicious users complete control over your database. Protecting your data and integrity is critical!
Think of FortiWeb as a restaurant that lets anyone walk in and directly place orders in the kitchen without any checks. An attacker can send specially crafted requests that manipulate the SQL commands, like a diner sneaking in their own recipe and having the chef prepare it without question.
