Five critical Fortinet CVEs in 28 months is not a streak of bad luck
Three heap overflows, two auth bypasses, all pre-auth, all ransomware-linked. The pattern in FortiOS and FortiProxy is structural, and patching alone has not been enough to remove attacker access.
Analysis · May 8, 2026 · The Commentary Desk
Three root shells in seven months. All from the same firewall.
CVE-2024-3400, CVE-2024-0012, and CVE-2024-9474 gave attackers unauthenticated root on Palo Alto firewalls twice in 2024. The pattern isn't bad luck. It's the architecture.
