A non persistent cross site scripting vulnerability is detected in Fortinets FortiWeb 4000C, 3000C/3000CFsx, 1000C, 400C & Virtual Appliance.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack website customer, moderator or admin sessions with low or medium required user inter action
and without local privileged application user account. The vulnerability is located in the Regular Expression - Validation (pcre_expression/validate)
module with the bound vulnerable redir and mkey parameters. Successful exploitation results in client side account steal, client side phishing &
client-side appliance module context request manipulation.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Regular Expression - Validation Module (pcre_expression/validate)
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] redir
[+] mkey
