Arctic Wolf reports automated attacks on FortiGate devices abusing FortiCloud SSO flaws to change firewall settings and steal configurations.
🚨 FortiGate Firewalls Getting Pwned via FortiCloud SSO Flaws
Arctic Wolf just dropped a major alert: automated attacks are hitting FortiGate devices by exploiting FortiCloud SSO vulnerabilities. These aren't your grandma's script kiddies—this is automated, surgical, and designed to mess with your firewall configs.
The attacks abuse FortiCloud SSO flaws to change firewall settings and steal configurations. Think about that: your network's first line of defense getting reconfigured by bots. Not cool.
This is next-level automation—attackers aren't just probing; they're actively altering firewall rules and exfiltrating configs. If you're running FortiGate, your SSO setup just became your biggest liability.
The report comes from Arctic Wolf's threat intel team, who've been tracking this campaign. They're calling it out as a critical risk for any org using FortiGate with FortiCloud SSO enabled.
- • Automated attacks targeting FortiGate devices
- • Exploiting FortiCloud SSO vulnerabilities
- • Changing firewall configurations
- • Stealing firewall configs
- • Reported by Arctic Wolf threat intelligence
Bottom line: if you're in network security and running FortiGate, check your SSO configs NOW. This isn't theoretical—it's live, automated, and hitting production systems. Your firewall shouldn't be your weakest link.
