Fortinet Fiasco: Urgent Fix Needed for New Vulnerability in a Week!
CISA updates its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog with a new entry, spotlighting a Fortinet vulnerability. Cyber actors are likely thrilled, but not as much as the IT teams now scrambling to patch it within a week. FortiWeb users, buckle up and check out BOD 23-02 for tips on minimizing online exposure.
Hot Take:
CISA has added another vulnerability to their “Wall of Woes,” also known as the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. This catalog is like a ‘Who’s Who’ of cyber threats, and Fortinet’s FortiWeb products have made it to this year’s list with a fancy Relative Path Traversal Vulnerability. It’s kind of like being invited to an exclusive party, except this party can crash your network and steal your data. Who knew being in the spotlight could be so dangerous?
Key Points:
- CISA updates its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog with a new entry.
- The vulnerability poses a significant risk to federal enterprises.
- Fortinet’s FortiWeb products are affected by the Relative Path Traversal Vulnerability.
- A reduced remediation timeframe of one week is recommended for patching.
- Guidelines are provided in BOD 23-02 for mitigating risks from internet-exposed management interfaces.
