Fortinet Screws Up (Again) – The SQLi Dumpster Fire

Well, what a shocker — Fortinet managed to cock things up again. This time, the geniuses at Fortinet patched a **critical SQL injection flaw** that basically left their FortiClient EMS systems wide open like a cheap motel door. CVE-2026-1234 (because apparently we still need numbers to track the endless fuck-ups) could’ve let any random bastard with no authentication whatsoever execute commands on your system. Yup, unauthenticated code execution, as in “congrats, your system is now my system.”

So apparently, versions from **7.2.x before 7.2.4** and **7.0.x before 7.0.11** were vulnerable. If you’re still running that crap, then may the IT gods have mercy on your soul. Fortinet tossed out a patch, muttered something about “security hardening,” and probably went back to pretending their QA process isn’t run by lobotomized hamsters.

And of course, the exploit could let some script kiddie or cyberpunk wannabe drop arbitrary SQL commands straight into the database like it’s open mic night. From there, it’s game over — code execution, data theft, or maybe just nuking your logs for the hell of it. Classic Tuesday in Infosec land.

So if you’ve got FortiClient EMS running, patch the damn thing now — before you’re featured on some “WeGotOwned” Reddit thread. And next time Fortinet tells you to upgrade, try not ignoring it like your ex’s texts.

And this reminds me — once had a sysadmin who thought “SQL injection” was a vodka shot. Then his department’s HR database vanished. Never saw a man cry over schema loss quite like that. Cheers to ignorance and the endless cycle of patch, pray, and swear.
