CVE-2025-53680 is an OS command injection vulnerability in the CLI component of Fortinet FortiAP products. The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands, allowing attacker-controlled input in crafted CLI requests to reach underlying command execution logic without sufficient sanitization. Affected products include FortiAP 7.6.0 through 7.6.2, 7.4.0 through 7.4.5, all versions in the 7.2, 7.0, and 6.4 branches; FortiAP-U 7.0.0 through 7.0.5 and all versions in the 6.2 branch; and FortiAP-W2 7.4.0 through 7.4.4 and all versions in the 7.2 and 7.0 branches. Successful exploitation allows a privileged authenticated attacker to execute unauthorized OS commands on the access point.
