It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2021-44168 in the wild since at least 10 Dec 2021.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Fortios. 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-2021-44168/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-44168/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-44168","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-44168/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-44168","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-689x-phc2-9p4m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiOS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code by exploiting a lack of integrity checks during the restoration of source visualization files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortios","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":3.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:U/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-494","name":"Download of Code Without Integrity Check"}],"description":"A download of code without integrity check vulnerability in the \"execute restore src-vis\" command of FortiOS before 7.0.3 may allow a local authenticated attacker to download arbitrary files on the device via specially crafted update packages.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2023-02-08","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":21,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2023-02-08T07:30:52Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xhaggis/CVE-2021-44168","stars":21,"title":"A download of code without integrity check vulnerability in the \"execute restore src-vis\" command of FortiOS before 7.0.3."}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS Arbitrary File Download","id":"CVE-2021-44168","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2021-12-10","dueDate":"2021-12-24","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"FortiOS","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Fortinet","vulnerabilityName":"Fortinet FortiOS Arbitrary File Download"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:fortios","products":["fortinet:fortios"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2021-44169"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Fortinet FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2021-44167"},"products":["Fortinet FortiOS"],"published":"2022-01-04","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Format String","id":"CVE-2024-23113","kev_date_added":"2024-10-09","published":"2024-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2022-40684","kev_date_added":"2022-10-11","published":"2022-10-18"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS and FortiProxy Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-55591","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS Out-of-Bound Write","id":"CVE-2024-21762","kev_date_added":"2024-02-09","published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-42475","kev_date_added":"2022-12-13","published":"2023-01-02"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fortinet FortiOS and FortiProxy SSL-VPN Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2023-27997","kev_date_added":"2023-06-13","published":"2023-06-13"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Fortinet Multiple Products Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature","id":"CVE-2025-59718","kev_date_added":"2025-12-16","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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"A local authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code by exploiting a lack of integrity checks during the restoration of source visualization files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-44168/"}
