​​Introduction to FGT_60F-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware package (build 1262) delivers FortiOS 7.2.3 for FortiGate 60F next-generation firewalls, released in Q2 2024 as part of Fortinet’s feature-enhanced firmware branch. Designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring advanced threat protection, it combines modern security frameworks with hardware-accelerated performance for the 60F platform (FGT-60F).

The update addresses 9 CVEs disclosed in 2023-2024, including critical vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN authentication and IPv6 policy enforcement. Exclusively compatible with the 60F hardware model, it does not support older 60E or newer 70F series devices.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Security Enhancements​​:

    • ​​CVE-2024-31415 (CVSS 9.3)​​: Remote code execution via SSLVPNd session hijacking
