CVE-2024-55597 is a path traversal vulnerability in Fortinet FortiWeb that allows attackers to execute unauthorized code. This Fortinet vulnerability affects FortiWeb versions 7.0.0 through 7.6.0, stemming from improper limitation of pathnames. Attackers can exploit this flaw using crafted requests to bypass security restrictions.
