Hackers Allegedly Selling Fortinet FortiGate 1-Day Vulnerability on Underground Forums

An unverified underground listing offers a claimed FortiGate SSL VPN RCE exploit for FortiOS 7.2.x/7.4.x amid ongoing exploitation of known Fortinet flaws.

Dark Web Intelligence shared an advertisement for a private '1-day' remote code execution exploit targeting FortiGate SSL VPN appliances on FortiOS 7.2.x and 7.4.x, with a claimed proof-of-concept video but no CVE, firmware builds, or technical details. The listing coincides with confirmed in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2025-25249, an unauthenticated heap-based buffer overflow patched in January 2026 but exploited since July 2026, and CVE-2024-21762, a critical out-of-bounds write in the FortiOS and FortiProxy SSL VPN component. Fortinet has advised disabling SSL VPN where immediate upgrades are not possible.

Hackers Exploit FortiGate SSL-VPN Flaw to Breach Thai ISP and Deploy MeshCentral Backdoor

Threat actors exploited FortiOS SSL-VPN flaw CVE-2024-21762 to breach Thai ISP Triple T Broadband, gaining root-level persistence via MeshCentral agents.

Attackers exploited CVE-2024-21762, an out-of-bounds write enabling unauthenticated RCE in FortiOS SSL-VPN, against Triple T Broadband's FortiGate 60F at mail.3bb.co.th, launching a Node.js reverse shell via a ROP payload. Hunt.io uncovered the operation through an exposed staging directory at 92.63.180[.]133:8888 containing 298 files of exploits, credential-harvesting scripts, session cookies, and a device inventory. Post-compromise, the actors deployed MeshCentral agents (device group TH-3BB, C2 www.ayuthayatech.com) running as root, plus a hidden SUID backdoor at /usr/local/bin/.rc, and also targeted an internal Pentaho/Tomcat server with Ghostcat (CVE-2020-1938). A cleanup script removed logs, shell histories, and web shells while deliberately preserving the MeshCentral agent and SUID backdoor.

Top 10 Best Multi-Cloud Security Platforms in 2026

An editorial roundup of the ten best multi-cloud security platforms for 2026, split between CNAPPs (Wiz, Prisma Cloud) and cloud-networking security (Aviatrix).

The article frames multi-cloud security as two markets: CNAPP platforms (Wiz, Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike, Orca, Defender) securing what runs in clouds, and cloud-networking-security platforms (Aviatrix) securing how clouds connect. It ranks ten platforms including Palo Alto Prisma Cloud for breadth, Wiz for correlation, Check Point CloudGuard, Fortinet, Aviatrix, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Trend Micro, and CrowdStrike. It flags the ~$32 billion Google–Wiz acquisition as raising cloud-neutrality questions buyers should address contractually.

Thai Broadband Provider Hacked via Fortinet Vulnerability

Hackers exploited Fortinet CVE-2024-21762 RCE to breach Thai broadband provider 3BB, deploying MeshCentral backdoors and credential-harvesting tools across its network.

Hunt.io uncovered an intrusion staging directory in Thailand containing 298 files of custom tooling built for Triple T Broadband (3BB) and its former owner Jasmine. Initial access came via fingerprinting a FortiGate SSL-VPN appliance and exploiting CVE-2024-21762 for remote code execution, after probing CVE-2018-13379, CVE-2022-42475, and CVE-2023-27997. The actor also probed F5 BIG-IP for CVE-2021-22986, CVE-2022-1388, and CVE-2023-46747, escalated privileges with PwnKit and Dirty COW, used MeshCentral as a C2 backdoor, harvested SSH/database/SNMP/Radius credentials, deployed PHP web shells, and ran cleanup scripts to hide the intrusion.
