That's a vulnerability that's under attack, fix available ... cancel those July 4th plans, perhaps?

More than 338,000 FortiGate firewalls are still unpatched and vulnerable to CVE-2023-27997, a critical bug Fortinet fixed last month that's being exploited in the wild.
This is according to infosec outfit Bishop Fox, which has developed an example exploit for achieving remote code execution via the hole. Successful exploitation of the pre-authentication vulnerability can allow an intruder to take over the network equipment. Bishop Fox warned: "You should patch yours now."
Fortinet did not respond to The Register's inquiries about how many products remain unpatched.
