Introduction to FGT_101E-v7.0.7.F-build0367-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware update delivers essential security hardening for FortiGate 101E series appliances, addressing 14 documented vulnerabilities per FortiGuard PSIRT advisory FG-IR-25-042 (June 2025). Designed for enterprise edge networks requiring consolidated security services, build 0367 enhances protection for environments utilizing ZTNA and IPSec VPN connectivity across 100-500 endpoints.
Compatible with FortiGate 101E hardware variants (FG-101E, FG-101E-3G4G), this maintenance release focuses on attack surface reduction for financial and healthcare verticals handling sensitive data. Network administrators must complete installation before October 2025 to neutralize two critical CVEs (9.2-9.6 CVSSv4 scores) affecting web filtering and SSL inspection subsystems.
