If you’re running FortiWeb anywhere in your stack , or you maintain web apps behind one , you might want to pour a coffee and run a quick log check today.
CVE-2025-64446 dropped with a bang (14 Nov), and it’s already on the Known Exploited list.
The short version:
A simple path traversal bug lets attackers read arbitrary system files , including SSL private keys, backend config files, database creds, and basically anything that shouldn’t be visible from the internet.
In my breakdown, I cover:
🔹 How the vulnerability works (in plain language)
🔹 What files attackers can steal
🔹 Impact on encrypted traffic, backend servers, and rule bypass
🔹 Actual IOCs you should hunt for
🔹 Ready-to-run Elastic, Splunk, and Sentinel queries
🔹 What to patch, harden, and monitor
