The Fortinet FortiJump saga is not over. The screenshot shows what we're calling 'FortiJump-Higher' being executed against a fully patched FortiManager instance. I urge anyone running a Fortinet FortiManager appliance and exposing it to the Internet to please reconsider this. Exploitation has additional hurdles compared to plain-old 'FortiJump', but we believe the root cause has not changed. As always, watchTowr Attack Surface Management technology clients are already aware if they are affected and have been given specific advice to reduce/remove exposure. This is what we do every day, this is real Attack Surface Management.

Accompanying watchTowr Labs blog post coming later today for CVE-2024-47575, but it seems the Fortinet FortiManager saga is not over. In our opinion, we would recommend ensuring these devices are not exposed to the Internet at all - even if fully patched.

😀 We’re incredibly excited to announce our partnership with Orange Business to bring the watchTowr Platform onboard as a key External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solution in selected regions. "Today's channel excels at providing services that help detect breaches and respond to attacks. However, there's significant white space in preventing attacks," said Elvina Liow, VP, APAC, watchTowr. “watchTowr is redefining how organizations approach attack surface management,” said Philip L., Head of Security – APAC, Orange Business. “Unlike legacy approaches that deliver ineffective audits or inaccurate assessments, the watchTowr Platform continuously validates ways hackers can gain access to a company’s systems. Since it's fully external and agentless, it can be up and running in our clients’ networks within hours, delivering rapid value.” Let’s go! 🚀 Link to the press release: https://lnkd.in/gzMSB_5K #watchtowr #attacksurfacemanagement #continuousautomatedredteaming
