Fortinet has just published a new critical PSIRT advisory FG-IR-26-060 / CVE-2026-24858 (CVSSv3 9.4) and released FortiOS 7.4.11 to remediate it.
Why this matters:
-
Back in December, FG-IR-25-647 was believed to be addressed (FortiOS 7.4.9+).
-
But recent incidents showed similar attack activity even on “patched” systems, and Fortinet has now shipped a fresh fix (7.4.11) for a new but related weakness.
Action (do this today):
- Upgrade to FortiOS 7.4.11 (FortiOS 7.4.11 is no longer vulnerable to CVE-2026-24858).
- If you can’t upgrade immediately: disable FortiCloud SSO admin login and lock down management access.
- Hunt for signs of compromise (unexpected admin accounts, config exports, VPN changes) and rotate credentials if anything looks off.
