Fortinet’s FortiSIEM is Leaking Like a Sieve, Surprise!

Oh joy. More security theater from the clowns at Fortinet. Apparently, their FortiSIEM product – you know, the thing supposed to prevent breaches – has a vulnerability (CVE-2025-25256) that lets attackers pull sensitive data right out of it. Like, configuration files, logs…the good stuff. And guess what? It’s already being exploited in the wild. Because *of course* it is.

The problem? A dodgy file deletion process. Some idiot left a way for unauthenticated users to download shit they shouldn’t be able to touch. Fortinet claims patched versions are available, but honestly, if you’re relying on Fortinet to secure anything important, you’re already screwed. It’s a remote code execution risk too, meaning some script kiddie could probably own your whole system with minimal effort.

They’re saying it affects multiple versions of the software, so check if you’re running one of them and patch…assuming you can even *find* the time to deal with another Fortinet mess. Don’t bother asking me for help; I’m busy laughing at the incompetence.

Honestly, this is just par for the course. Expect more of this garbage from these vendors. They sell you a problem and then charge you extra to fix it when their own code blows up in your face.

Speaking of vulnerabilities, I once had to deal with a “security expert” who insisted on using default credentials for everything. Everything. I told him he was asking for trouble, and naturally, his server got pwned within 48 hours. He then blamed *me* for not protecting him better. Some people just want to watch the world burn, I swear.
