Fortinet Screws Up Again – Another Bloody Vulnerability Bites the Dust

Well slap my circuits and call me compromised — Fortinet’s back in the hot seat *again*. Apparently, some overworked caffeine-fueled security monkeys forgot to lock down their damn FortiWeb systems, and now there’s a new critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-58034, running wild in the streets like a drunk toddler with a chainsaw.

This dumpster fire of a flaw gives attackers the golden key to mess with FortiWeb’s guts. Remote code execution, privilege escalation, data exposure — the works. In other words: if your FortiWeb box is exposed to the internet, you might as well gift-wrap your internal network and hand it over to some script kiddie in their parents’ basement.

Fortinet, of course, released a patch and said their usual “apply this immediately” crap — which everyone knows half of you lazy bastards won’t do until the system actually explodes. And as always, the attackers didn’t wait for the polite memo. Nope, they’re already hammering away at vulnerable instances faster than your intern can Google “WTF is CVE?”

So yeah, patch the bloody thing, make sure your firewalls aren’t as wide open as your office gossip’s mouth, and maybe, just maybe, read the damn advisories *before* the attackers do. Because nothing ruins a Friday faster than finding out your “secure” web gateway is now a rent-free vacation spot for ransomware.

Here’s the glorious shitshow straight from the source:

Reminds me of that one time I told the network admin to patch the VPN gateway “sometime this week” — he took that as “let the Russians do it for you.” The next day we were starring in a live data exfiltration reality show. Some people never learn.
