Scans on the public web show that approximately 150,000 Fortinet FortiOS and FortiProxy secure web gateway systems are vulnerable to CVE-2024-21762, a critical security issue that allows executing code without authentication. America's Cyber Defense Agency CISA confirmed last month that attackers are actively exploiting the flaw by adding it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Fortinet has patched critical remote code execution vulnerabilities in FortiOS, one of which is "Potentially" being exploited in the wild. The exploitation-in-the-wild has been confirmed by CISA, by adding it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, though details about the attacks are still undisclosed.

CISA confirmed today that attackers are actively exploiting a critical remote code execution bug patched by Fortinet on Thursday. CISA's announcement comes one day after Fortinet published a security advisory saying the flaw was "Potentially being exploited in the wild."

The only workaround recommended by Fortinet is to disable the SSL VPN. Disabling webmode won't mitigate the vulnerability, it said. Firstly, Fortinet backtracked and said these weren't vulnerabilities at all, instead explaining that they were issued in error and were duplicates of the single vulnerability mentioned in the aforementioned October advisory - CVE-2023-34992.

Fortinet has disclosed a new critical security flaw in FortiOS SSL VPN that it said is likely being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability, CVE-2024-21762 (CVSS score: 9.6), allows for the...

Fortinet is warning that a new critical remote code execution vulnerability in FortiOS SSL VPN is potentially being exploited in attacks.For those unable to apply patches, you can mitigate the flaw by disabling SSL VPN on your FortiOS devices.

Cisco, Fortinet, and VMware have released security fixes for multiple security vulnerabilities, including critical weaknesses that could be exploited to perform arbitrary actions on affected...

Fortinet is warning of two new unpatched patch bypasses for a critical remote code execution vulnerability in FortiSIEM, Fortinet's SIEM solution.Fortinet added the two new vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2024-23108 and CVE-2024-23109 to the original advisory for the CVE-2023-34992 flaw in a very confusing update.

NVD published two advisories this week for critical command injection vulnerabilities purportedly impacting Fortinet's FortiSIEM products, but there's more to what meets the eye. BleepingComputer has confirmed that these CVEs are not "New," but duplicates of a previously known FortiSIEM vulnerability and were issued in error.

Fortinet's FortiSIEM product is vulnerable to two new maximum-severity security vulnerabilities that allow for remote code execution. In registering the CVE identities for the vulnerabilities, Fortinet linked to its own advisory to provide more information, but the link directs users to an older issue that was addressed in early October 2023.
