Multiple Vulnerabilities in Fortinet Products

Vulnerability

February 12, 2025

This Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) Advisory is being provided to assist agencies and organizations in guarding against the persistent malicious actions of cybercriminals.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered Fortinet Products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for remote code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account, threat actors could install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Service accounts that are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

Recommendations
  • Apply appropriate updates provided by Fortinet to vulnerable systems immediately after appropriate testing.
  • Apply the Principle of Least Privilege to all systems and services. Run all software as a non-privileged user (one without administrative privileges) to diminish the effects of a successful attack.
  • Use vulnerability scanning to find potentially exploitable software vulnerabilities to remediate them.
  • Architect sections of the network to isolate critical systems, functions, or resources. Use physical and logical segmentation to prevent access to potentially sensitive systems and information. Use a DMZ to contain any internet-facing services that should not be exposed from the internal network. Configure separate virtual private cloud (VPC) instances to isolate critical cloud systems.
  • Use capabilities to detect and block conditions that may lead to or be indicative of a software exploit occurring.
