Security News > 2024 > May > PoC exploits for critical FortiSIEM command execution flaws released (CVE-2024-23108, CVE-2023-34992)
Ai researches have released proof-of-concept exploits for CVE-2024-23108 and CVE-2023-34992, vulnerabilities that allow remote, unauthenticated command execution as root on certain Fortinet FortiSIEM appliances.
CVE-2024-23108 and CVE-2024-23109 are OS command injection vulnerabilities in the FortiSIEM supervisor and can be exploited remotely, without authentication, with specially crafted API requests.
PoCs for CVE-2024-23108 and CVE-2023-34992 have been published by Hanley on GitHub.
Hanley has noted that "There is very little difference in the exploitation of the previous command injection, CVE-2023-34992, to this one, CVE-2024-23108, reported 6 months later", and said that attempts to exploit them will leave evidence in the logs for the phMonitor service.
Attempts to exploit CVE-2024-23108 will leave a log message containing a failed command with datastore.
Admins should check their FortiSIEM installations and upgrade to a version containing the fix.
