This article describes the assessment of Remote Code Execution vulnerability in C-Data Web Management software. |
| Scope | FortiDAST Scripting Engine updated in version 24.1.0-build012(GA) |
| Solution | Detection against that vulnerability is empowered by the FortiDAST Scripting Engine (FSE). This technology enables FortiDAST to assess remotely with a high level of confidence if an asset is vulnerable to a specific vulnerability by testing the disarmed exploit against the asset itself.
To configure the scan, it will be necessary to enable the FSE group signature 'cdata' which will select the underlying script: ‘CVE-2022-4257-CData-Web-Management-RCE-Vulnerability.’
For reference, a step-by-step guide on how to configure FortiDAST to trigger FSE can be found on Fortinet’s blog: |
