SQL Injection in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer JSON-RPC API

IdentifiersCVE-2025-49784CWE-89· Improper Neutralization of Special…

CVE-2025-49784 is an SQL injection vulnerability in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and FortiAnalyzer-BigData, tracked by Fortinet as FG-IR-26-095. The issue is caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. According to the provided content, the flaw is exposed through the FortiAnalyzer JSON-RPC API and affects FortiAnalyzer 7.6.0 through 7.6.4, 7.4.0 through 7.4.7, all versions in the 7.2, 7.0, and 6.4 branches, as well as FortiAnalyzer-BigData 7.6.0, 7.4.0 through 7.4.4, and all versions in the 7.2, 7.0, 6.4, and 6.2 branches. A remote authenticated attacker can send specifically crafted requests to the vulnerable interface to trigger the SQL injection condition, which may result in execution of unauthorized code or commands.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation may allow an authenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands on the affected FortiAnalyzer or FortiAnalyzer-BigData system. Given the product role, compromise could also enable unauthorized interaction with backend data and administrative functions exposed through the vulnerable API. The provided content specifically states code or command execution as the primary impact.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the FortiAnalyzer JSON-RPC API to trusted administrative networks only, minimize the number of accounts permitted to authenticate to the interface, and monitor API and administrative logs for anomalous crafted requests or unexpected command execution behavior. Where feasible, disable or isolate external exposure of the management/API interface until updates are applied. These are risk-reduction measures only; the primary mitigation is vendor patching.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade affected FortiAnalyzer and FortiAnalyzer-BigData deployments to a vendor-fixed release as identified by Fortinet in its PSIRT advisory for FG-IR-26-095 / CVE-2025-49784. Administrators should verify installed versions against the affected version list and apply the appropriate patched version from Fortinet. Because broad version ranges are affected, organizations should consult the FortiGuard PSIRT advisory to determine the exact fixed build for each supported branch.
