Fortinet releases an emergency update for its FortiClient EMS after a security flaw in the product is exploited in the wild. Multiple reports describe the issue as a zero-day and say attackers are taking advantage of the vulnerability in active attacks. Fortinet provides hotfixes aimed at addressing the defect and urges customers to patch immediately. SecurityWeek reports that Fortinet rolled out hotfixes in April and accompanied the release with warnings that the vulnerability was already being exploited. Infosecurity Magazine similarly states that Fortinet updates FortiClient EMS after zero-day activity comes to light and presents the release as an urgent response. The reports focus on the need for swift remediation for affected installations and do not detail the exploitation method or the specific impact in the excerpts provided. Overall, the outlets agree that Fortinet’s patch is a response to evidence of ongoing exploitation and that users of FortiClient EMS should apply the updated versions to mitigate risk.
