Description

The UTM WAF Appliance in Fortinet FortiOS (FortiGate) contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'Applied tags' and 'Tags Display' field upon submission to the /firewall/policy/policy6 script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
