Fortinet has released security updates to address 40 vulnerabilities in its software lineup, including FortiWeb, FortiOS, FortiNAC, and FortiProxy, among others.

Two of the 40 flaws are rated Critical, 15 are rated High, 22 are rated Medium, and one is rated Low in severity.

Top of the list is a severe bug residing in the FortiNAC network access control solution (CVE-2022-39952, CVSS score: 9.8) that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

"An external control of file name or path vulnerability [CWE-73] in FortiNAC web server may allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform arbitrary write on the system," Fortinet said in an advisory earlier this week.

The products impacted by the vulnerability are as follows -

• FortiNAC version 9.4.0
• FortiNAC version 9.2.0 through 9.2.5
• FortiNAC version 9.1.0 through 9.1.7
• FortiNAC 8.8 all versions
• FortiNAC 8.7 all versions
• FortiNAC 8.6 all versions
• FortiNAC 8.5 all versions, and
• FortiNAC 8.3 all versions

Patches have been released in FortiNAC versions 7.2.0, 9.1.8, 9.1.8, and 9.1.8. Penetration testing firm Horizon3.ai said it plans to release a proof-of-concept (PoC) code for the flaw "soon," making it imperative that users move quickly to apply the updates.

The second flaw of note is a set of stack-based buffer overflow in FortiWeb's proxy daemon (CVE-2021-42756, CVSS score: 9.3) that could enable an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution via specifically crafted HTTP requests.

CVE-2021-42756 affects the below versions of FortiWeb, with fixes available in versions FortiWeb 6.0.8, 6.1.3, 6.2.7, 6.3.17, and 7.0.0 -

• FortiWeb versions 6.4 all versions
• FortiWeb versions 6.3.16 and below
• FortiWeb versions 6.2.6 and below
• FortiWeb versions 6.1.2 and below
• FortiWeb versions 6.0.7 and below, and
• FortiWeb versions 5.x all versions

Both the flaws were internally discovered and reported by its product security team, Fortinet said. Interestingly, CVE-2021-42756 also appears to have been identified in 2021 but not publicly disclosed until now.

FORTINET — a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions — announced new security operations center (SOC) augmentation services, designed to help strengthen an organization's cyberresiliency and support short-staffed teams, strained by the talent shortage. In addition, as part of Fortinet's leadership efforts to help close the cyberskills gap, the Fortinet Training Institute has added initiatives across its programs to further increase access to its industry-recognized training and certifications.

The prevailing talent shortage remained one of the top challenges facing SOC teams globally. Fortinet's 2022 Cybersecurity Skills Gap report found that 50 percent of global leaders cited security operations as one of the most challenging roles to fill, and 42 percent were still in need of security operations analysts. Additionally, the same Fortinet survey found that worldwide, 80 percent of organizations suffered one or more breaches due to a lack of cybersecurity skills and awareness.

A lack of resources and personnel, combined with the sheer volume of security alerts SOC teams receive per day, often resulted in missed detections and slower responses that increased exposure to cyberrisk. SOC teams required an immediate solution to mitigate these challenges through investment in automated and integrated SOC, and cybersecurity technologies and experienced professionals to better protect against threats.

New and enhanced SOC augmentation services provided immediate support for short-staffed security operations teams.

Committed to helping organizations overcome these obstacles, Fortinet's new and enhanced services helped SOC teams to reduce their organizations' cyberrisk while freeing up their time to focus on higher-priority projects.

• The Cybercrime Atlas initiative brings together global leaders to fight cyberthreats and map the cybercrime landscape, covering criminal operations, structures and networks

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and VP of Global Threat Intelligence at FortiGuard Labs: “Disrupting global cybercriminal organizations requires a global effort with strong, trusted relationships and collaboration across public and private organizations and industries. It is part of Fortinet’s mission to secure people, devices, and data everywhere, and Fortinet is proud to be one of the founding members of the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity and an active contributor as part of its Partnership against Cybercrime (PAC). The Cybercrime Atlas initiative is about driving real impact and is a coordinated effort to create a chain of disruption in the world of cybercrime. We are excited to continue our work with private and public sector leaders to help make our digital world a safer place.”

Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced the launch of the Cybercrime Atlas, a joint initiative launched this month in Davos at the organization’s Annual Meeting by the World Economic Forum (WEF) with the support of Banco Santander, Fortinet, Microsoft, and PayPal. The Cybercrime Atlas – currently hosted by the Forum – will aid industry, law enforcement, and government agencies by providing a first-of-its-kind visibility to disrupt cybercriminals across their ecosystem and infrastructure to track and help take down cybercriminals and their infrastructure around the world. 

Global Leaders Collaborating to Build a Chain of Disruption

Cybercrime impacts everyone from individuals to global corporations and critical infrastructures and governments. It causes immense, though not always visible, damage to economies and societies. The Cybercrime Atlas was first conceptualized by the Forum’s PAC community, which includes over 40 private and public sector members.

The Cybercrime Atlas is a collaborative effort to build an action-orientated, global knowledge-base​ of the cybercriminal landscape to enable mitigation and disruption of cybercrime. Building on the expertise of the Forum’s PAC, the Cybercrime Atlas initiative will provide a platform for leading cybercrime investigators, national and international law enforcement agencies, and global businesses to share knowledge, generate policy recommendations and identify opportunities for coordinated action to fight cyberthreats.

The Cybercrime Atlas aims to build a comprehensive picture of the cybercrime landscape that covers criminal operations, shared infrastructure, and networks. The links between the information gathered about threat actors will help the security industry more effectively disrupt the cybercriminal ecosystem, more efficiently allocate resources in the fight against them, and make their unlawful efforts more cost prohibitive.

Since 2H 2021, the Cybercrime Atlas has benefited from a year of analysis into 13 criminal groups by specialized analysts and cybercrime investigators, using only publicly available information. The accumulated knowledge from the Cybercrime Atlas efforts will ultimately help to identify and disrupt the cybercrime ecosystem. The analysis will shed light on cybercriminal artifacts to aid industry, law enforcement, and government agencies to create a chain of disruption. The approach and initial findings of the group have been welcomed by law enforcement agencies. The uncovering of these non-traditional artificats will help aid in the capture and successfull prosecution of cybercrime gang members.

Fortinet’s Continued Commitment to Disrupting Global Cybercrime

Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs’ leadership in the threat intelligence community over the last decade has helped take the fight to adversaries and Excellerate protections for customers, partners, and governments around the world. By sharing threat intelligence and working with other threat intelligence organizations, it helps Excellerate protections for customers and enhances the effectiveness of the entire cybersecurity industry.

FortiGuard Labs is committed to partnership and cooperation with global law enforcement, government organizations, and industry organizations.
