Could you build this?

No Building a working exploit for a specific unpatched vulnerability requires security research expertise to find and validate the flaw, and the artifact is dangerous to release.

What it would actually take: Reproducing this would require reverse engineering FortiSIEM's file-handling and API code to understand the path traversal and how it reaches code execution. That demands experienced vulnerability researchers with binary analysis skills and a lab environment. Publishing such a PoC also raises serious responsible-disclosure and legal concerns.
