Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
FortiManager appliances allow you to centrally manage any number of Fortinet devices, from several to thousands, including FortiGateA(r), FortiWiFiaC/, 
FortiCarrieraC/, FortiMailaC/ and FortiAnalyzeraC/ appliances and virtual appliances, as well as FortiClientaC/ endpoint security agents. You can further 
simplify control and management of large deployments by grouping devices and agents into administrative domains (ADOMs).

The FortiManager family of management appliances provides centralized policy-based provisioning, device configuration, and update management for 
FortiGate, FortiWiFi, and FortiMail appliances, and FortiClient end-point security agents, plus end-to-end network monitoring and device control. 
FortiManager delivers a lower TCO for Fortinet implementations by minimizing both initial deployment costs and ongoing operating expenses. Control 
administrative access and simplify policy deployment using role-based administration to define user privileges for specific management domains and 
functions, and aggregating collections of Fortinet appliances and agents into independent management domains. In addition, by locally hosting security 
content updates for managed devices and agents, FortiManager appliances minimize Web filtering rating request response time and maximize network protection.

Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
The Vulnerability Laboratory Core Research Team discovered a persistent web validation vulnerability in the official Fotinet FortiManager appliance product series.
The issue affects the web-application of the appliance series and is present in the following fortimanager models - 200D,  300D, 1000D, 
3900E, 4000E, Virtual Appliances Version and FortiMoM-VM. The Fortimanager legacy models 100, 100C, 400A, 400B, 400C, 1000C, 3000C and 4000D are 
affected as well by the vulnerability.

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent and non-persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Fotinet FortiManager appliance product series.
The vulnerability allows privileged guest user accounts and restricted user accounts to inject own malicious script codes on the application-side or 
client-side of the fortimanager appliance web-application series.

The vulnerability is located in the `name and description` input fields of the vulnerable `Policy & Objects - Security Profiles - SSL VPN Portal` module. 
The request method to inject is POST to GET and the attack vector is located on the application-side of the appliance web-application. Remote attackers 
are able to inject own malicious script codes to the name and description input fields. After processing to add, the code bypasses the regular web filter 
of the appliance web-application and executes finally in the pre-defined bookmarks listing module above with the basic input. The vulnerability can be 
exploited by guest appliance user accounts with restricted access. The vulnerability first executes with client-side attack vector and becomes persistent 
with the save procedure by return.

The security risk of the application-side and client-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.8. 
Exploitation of the application-side web vulnerability requires a low privileged guest web-application user account and low user interaction. Successful exploitation 
of the vulnerability results in persistent phishing, session hijacking, persistent external redirect to malicious sources and application-side manipulation of affected 
or connected web module context.

Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by low privileged guest web-application user accounts with low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.


Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability as guest user with restricted access privileges ...
1.  Login to the fortimanager appliance web-application as guest user
2.  Open the following section that is not restricted to guests mainly (http://fortimanager.localhost:8000/cgi-bin/module//sharedobjmanager/vpn/SOMVpnSSLPortalDialog)
3.  Click Security Profiles > SSL VPN Portal
4.  Now click the pre-defined Bookmarks button ahead to the listing
5.  Add your test payload to verify the issue in the Name and Description input field
6.  Save the entry
7.  The code executes in the Pre-Defined Bookmarks listing context in two locations
8.  Save the entry by return again
9.  Now you reopen the post to edit the pre-defined bookmarks
10. A second execution of the payload occurs in the edit form next to the category entry
11. Successful reproduce of the persistent vulnerability!
