Some clickbait nonsense. Genuinely.

This isn't anything like what its trying to spark fear over. it requires a credential stuffing attack that needs the following:

  1. A management interface exposed to the internet
  2. A lack of controls related to who can log in and where from
  3. The use of SSLVPN that does not utilize SAML or another form of OAuth

After all of that, and presuming they have a set of working credentials that have not been changed after the credentials were exposed in a breach, can they perform an attack.

Like with anything, working admin credentials will get you to a CLI, and from there you can do a lot. Protect your management interfaces. Do the bare minimum.

One of my previous shops used the Forti Suite and I was wasn’t really convinced of its integrity based upon how convoluted the Firewall and Endpoint configuration was. It had the trappings of a WYSIWYG solution but a lot of things required janky fine tuning

maybe you just need to know how to use it, the forti suite is quite powerful

my shop has had a few different systems and they all have their own WYSIWYG issues. So fortigate isnt alone with that problem
