Introduction to FGT_60D-v6-build0131-FORTINET.out Software
This critical firmware update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities while enhancing operational stability for FortiGate 60D series firewalls running FortiOS 6.0. Designed for small-to-medium business networks, it resolves 3 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 security advisories, including a high-risk SSL-VPN vulnerability (CVE-2024-21762). The build0131 revision specifically targets legacy deployments requiring extended lifecycle support with improved threat detection accuracy.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 60D hardware (FG-60D), this March 2025 release maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.0.12+ configurations. Based on Fortinet’s firmware lifecycle policy, it extends security maintenance through Q4 2026 for organizations transitioning to newer hardware platforms.
