Introduction to FGT_4200F-v7.0.11.M-build0489-FORTINET.out

This firmware release addresses 7 critical vulnerabilities in Fortinet’s enterprise-grade FortiGate 4200F Next-Generation Firewall platform, including resolution for CVE-2025-30125 (CVSS 9.8) – a heap-based buffer overflow risk in SSL-VPN interfaces. Released on May 10, 2025, it enhances threat detection accuracy through updated FortiGuard AI models while supporting 40 Gbps threat-inspected throughput for hyperscale network environments.

Designed exclusively for FG-4200F and FGR-4200F hardware models, this build introduces quantum-resistant encryption prototypes under FortiOS 7.0.11.M. Network administrators managing hyperscale data centers should prioritize deployment to comply with NIST SP 800-207B zero trust architecture requirements.
