2023-06-11 15:43

Fortinet has released new Fortigate firmware updates that fix an undisclosed, critical pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in SSL VPN devices.

While not mentioned in the release notes, security professionals and admins have hinted that the updates quietly fixed a critical SSL-VPN RCE vulnerability that would be disclosed on Tuesday, June 13th, 2023.

Fortinet is known to push out security patches prior to disclosing critical vulnerabilities to give customers time to update their devices before threat actors reverse engineer the patches.

Today, additional information was disclosed by vulnerability researcher Charles Fol, who told BleepingComputer that the new FortiOS updates include a fix for a critical RCE vulnerability discovered by him and Rioru.

Fol confirmed to BleepingComputer that this should be considered an urgent patch for Fortinet admins as its likely to be quickly analyzed and discovered by threat actors.

Fortinet devices are some of the most popular firewall and VPN devices in the market, making them a popular target for attacks.
