Identity Security Risk Assessment:
Fortinet acknowledged in its advisory that a “practical exploit code for this vulnerability was found in the wild,” but did not share any additional specifics about the nature of the exploit and where it was found. It also noted that the exploitation code does not appear to produce distinctive indicators of compromise (IoCs).
The network security company recommends that organizations restrict access to the phMonitor port (7900) as a workaround.
GreyNoise reported a “significant spike” in brute-force traffic targeting Fortinet SSL VPN devices, with numerous IP addresses from the U.S., Canada, Russia, and the Netherlands scanning devices globally. This disclosure was made a day later.
