Improper input validation in custom dataset

Summary

An improper input validation vulnerability [CWE-20] in FortiAnalyzer & FortiManager may allow an authenticated attacker to disclose file system information via custom dataset SQL queries.

## Workaround:

If enabled, disabled the FortiAnalyzer features option in FortiManager via:

<br/>config system global
