An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-106173 exists.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiSIEM. 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-2026-106173/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-106173/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-106173","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-106173/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-106173","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5cx2-chqq-627m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiSIEM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute unauthorized code or commands via specially crafted packets due to a path traversal vulnerability in FortiSIEM.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') vulnerability in Fortinet FortiSIEM 7.5.0 may allow attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via specially crafted packets.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-20","github_poc":5,"max_poc_stars":34,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-20T12:29:09Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/horizon3ai/CVE-2026-106173","stars":34,"title":"Proof of concept exploit for CVE-2026-106173, a path traversal file write leading to RCE for Fortinet FortiSIEM"},{"date":"2026-10-22T17:17:56Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/tc4dy/CVE-2026-106173-PoC-Exploit","stars":5,"title":"CVE-2026-106173 – FortiSIEM phQueryMaster RCE (CVSS 9.8) | Red/Blue Team suite for unpatched FortiSIEM 7.5.0. 2 tools: Full Exploit (multi-primitive RCE, reverse shell, persistence, creds, readback, mass scan, Tor), Blue Team Checker (exposure detection, HTTP/2 fingerprint, reporting, audit).
