Introduction to FWB_3010E-v700-build0162-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiWeb 3010E series web application firewalls. Designed for enterprise hybrid-cloud environments, build0162 resolves 29 CVEs documented in Fortinet’s security advisory FWEB-2025-0162, including vulnerabilities in API gateway configurations and TLS 1.3 protocol stacks. Released under FortiOS 7.0.20’s extended support cycle in Q3 2025, it introduces quantum-ready encryption protocols and hardware-accelerated threat detection models optimized for high-volume transaction environments.
Exclusive to FortiWeb 3010E appliances with Security Processor 5 (SP5) architecture, this update enhances Zero Trust security posture while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy web applications requiring FIPS 140-3 compliance.
