This article describes the assessment of Command Injection vulnerability in Nice Linear eMerge software.
Scope
FortiDAST Scripting Engine updated in version 24.3.a
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 'linear-emerge' which will select the underlying script as per the scan requirement: 'CVE-2019-7256 Linear eMerge E3 series command injection vulnerability.'
For reference, a step-by-step guide on how to configure FortiDAST to trigger FSE can be found on Fortinet’s blog:
