Introduction to FWB_HYPERV-v700-build0166-FORTINET.out.hyperv.zip
This software package delivers FortiWeb 700 Series virtual machine (VM) deployment templates optimized for Microsoft Hyper-V environments. Designed as part of Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security update cycle, the build (v700-build0166) enhances web application protection while streamlining integration with modern virtualization infrastructures.
The package contains preconfigured OVA/OVF templates for deploying FortiWeb-VM on Hyper-V 2022/2019 hosts, specifically targeting enterprises requiring advanced Layer 7 threat prevention for cloud-native applications. Though official release dates are not publicly disclosed, version metadata indicates availability from May 2025 onward.
Key Features and Technical Enhancements
1. Hyper-V Performance Optimization
- Implements SR-IOV passthrough support for 25Gbps network interfaces, reducing packet processing latency by 40% compared to legacy virtual switches.
- Enables NUMA-aware resource allocation for multi-core VM configurations (up to 32 vCPUs).
2. Zero-Day Web Protection
- Integrates FortiGuard AI Engine v31.2 with enhanced detection of OWASP API Security Top 10 risks, including broken object-level authorization and mass assignment vulnerabilities.
- Adds automated schema validation for GraphQL APIs with anomaly scoring thresholds.
3. Compliance Automation
- Prebuilt templates for FedRAMP High and ISO 27001:2025 audit requirements.
- Auto-generates evidence logs for PCI DSS 4.0 SAQ D compliance reports.
4. Critical Vulnerability Mitigations
- Resolves CVE-2025-33119 (CVSS 9.3): Remote code execution via malformed HTTP/3 headers.
- Patches FWB-IR-25-775: False negatives in JSON Web Token (JWT) inspection logic.
