Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-36175 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortiweb. 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-2021-36175/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36175/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-36175","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36175/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-36175","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4343-wxmv-4jg6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiWebManager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via input parameters in FortiWebManager, potentially compromising user sessions or data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortiweb","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":4.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:F/RL:X/RC:X","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"An improper neutralization of input vulnerability [CWE-79] in FortiWebManager versions 6.2.3 and below, 6.0.2 and below may allow a remote authenticated attacker to inject malicious script/tags via the name/description/comments parameter of various sections of the device.","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":"Cross-site scripting in Fortinet FortiWebManager","id":"CVE-2021-36175","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:fortiweb","products":["fortinet:fortiweb"],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Multiple uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerabilities in the web interface of FortiPortal before 6.0.6 may allow a single low-privilege","id":"CVE-2021-36176"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Fortinet FortiPortal","id":"CVE-2021-36174"},"products":["Fortinet FortiWebManager"],"published":"2021-10-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Fortinet FortiWeb SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2025-25257","kev_date_added":"2025-07-18","published":"2025-07-17"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Fortinet FortiWeb Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2025-64446","kev_date_added":"2025-11-14","published":"2025-11-14"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Fortinet FortiWeb OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2025-58034","kev_date_added":"2025-11-18","published":"2025-11-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Fortinet FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2020-29015","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Fortinet FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2020-29016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2021-42756","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-16"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in FortiWeb","id":"CVE-2025-59719","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-09"}],"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":"Remote authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via input parameters in FortiWebManager, potentially compromising user sessions or data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36175/"}
