It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-24016 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-24016 is a low-severity code injection vulnerability in Fortinet Fortimanager, published on 30 Sep 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24016 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortimanager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24016/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3xr4-xcg2-6xq7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiManager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands on victim hosts by crafting policy names that exploit CSV formula injection when exported to Excel.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortimanager","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:X/RC:X","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1236","name":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File"}],"description":"An improper neutralization of formula elements in a csv file in Fortinet FortiManager version 6.4.3 and below, 6.2.7 and below allows attacker to execute arbitrary commands via crafted IPv4 field in policy name, when exported as excel file and opened unsafely on the victim host.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in Fortinet FortiManager","id":"CVE-2021-24016","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:fortimanager","products":["fortinet:fortimanager"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Fortinet FortiManager","id":"CVE-2021-24017"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Fortinet FortiMail","id":"CVE-2021-24015"},"products":["Fortinet FortiManager"],"published":"2021-09-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet FortiManager Missing Authentication","id":"CVE-2024-47575","kev_date_added":"2024-10-23","published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Fortinet FortiManager","id":"CVE-2019-6695","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Fortinet FortiManager","id":"CVE-2019-17654","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-04"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiAnalyzer","id":"CVE-2023-42791","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Missing authorization in FortiManager","id":"CVE-2024-35277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-25","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands on victim hosts by crafting policy names that exploit CSV formula injection when exported to Excel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24016/"}
