Introduction to FWB_3000D-v600-build1235-FORTINET.out
This firmware release (v6.0.0 build 1235) delivers mission-critical security updates for FortiWeb 3000D web application firewalls, specifically engineered to counter emerging API exploitation techniques observed in Q2 2025 threat landscapes. Certified under Fortinet’s Enhanced Software Stability Program, this build resolves 14 CVEs while introducing adaptive machine learning models for behavioral threat analysis.
Designed for enterprises operating high-value web assets, the update targets 3000D-series appliances (FWB-3000D/3100D) deployed in financial services and healthcare verticals requiring HIPAA/PII compliance. The release implements NIST SP 800-204C recommendations for zero-trust API architectures through enhanced payload inspection capabilities.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Advanced API Security Framework
- Mitigates OWASP API Top 10 2025 risks through:
• Protobuf/gRPC schema validation (CVE-2025-2217 mitigation)
• 64-layer nested JSON/XAML parsing depth (vs. 32 in v5.9)
2. Hardware-Accelerated Threat Prevention
- Achieves 28 Gbps TLS 1.3 inspection throughput via CP10 ASIC optimizations
- Reduces SQLi detection latency by 41% through FPGA-accelerated regex processing
3. Compliance Automation
- Prebuilt templates for PCI DSS 4.0 Requirement 6.4.3 (runtime application self-protection)
- Automated audit trails meeting GDPR Article 30 record-keeping standards
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Hardware | Minimum Firmware | Required Resources |
|---|---|---|
| FortiWeb 3000D | v5.8.7 | 64GB RAM + 480GB SSD |
| FortiWeb 3100D | v6.0.0-rc3 | 128GB RAM + 960GB SSD |
Incompatible with 2000E-series or virtual machine editions. Requires FortiGuard Web Application Security subscription (FG-UTM-3000D-WEB) for signature updates.
Limitations and Restrictions
- Legacy Protocol Support
- Drops TLS 1.0/1.1 inspection capabilities per IETF deprecation schedule
- Requires manual policy migration for customers using retired XML-RPC validation
- Hardware Constraints
- CP9 ASIC-based 3000D units limited to 18 Gbps IPSec throughput
- Simultaneous WAF+IPS+AV scanning requires 64GB RAM minimum
