NSE5_FWB_AD-8.0 Exam Dumps : Fortinet NSE 5 - FortiWeb 8.0 Administrator

A WAF such as FortiWeb is specifically built to protect web applications and web servers from HTTP and HTTPS application-layer attacks. SQL injection and cross-site scripting are Layer 7 threats that exploit web application input handling, not general network-layer forwarding. FortiWeb inspects HTTP/S requests, applies attack signatures, protocol validation, parameter validation, and other web protection controls to detect malicious payloads before they reach the protected application. Option A is wrong because protecting user browsers is mainly endpoint or client security, not WAF server-side protection. Option B is too generic and describes network firewall or IPS-style inspection rather than web application firewall enforcement. The two correct WAF actions are detecting Layer 7 attacks and analyzing HTTP/S requests targeting the web server.

The URL exposes internal application structure and what appears to be a version number. Revealing version information, framework paths, or internal directory names gives attackers useful reconnaissance data. Attackers can correlate exposed versions with known vulnerabilities and target the application more precisely. FortiWeb URL rewriting can reduce this risk by hiding or transforming sensitive internal URLs before users or scanners see them. The other URLs are normal-looking public paths or common application resources. A WordPress RSS feed may or may not be appropriate depending on business requirements, but it does not clearly expose internal versioned routing in the same way. The risky URL is the one containing 25.3.6/Browse/MediaData.
