Introduction to FWB_1000F-v700-build0622-FORTINET.out
This firmware release delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for FortiWeb 1000F series web application firewalls running FortiOS 7.0. Designed for enterprise-class web application protection, build 0622 addresses 9 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the 1000F’s Security Processing Unit (SPU).
As part of Fortinet’s Extended Security Maintenance program, this update combines vulnerability remediation from FortiOS 7.2 with backward-compatible architecture for PCI-DSS compliant environments. The build follows FortiOS 7.0.6 framework while enhancing TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities and machine learning-based threat detection.
