​​Introduction to FWB_KVM-v700-build0622-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip​​

This software package provides Fortinet’s FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) virtual appliance optimized for KVM hypervisor environments. Released on June 22, 2025, under FortiOS 7.0.6 security updates, it addresses critical API security vulnerabilities while enhancing threat detection for cloud-native applications. Designed for deployment in virtualized data centers and hybrid cloud architectures, this build (v700-build0622) extends support for modern DevOps workflows and aligns with NIST SP 800-204B standards for secure microservices.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Advanced API Security​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-32767 Mitigation​​: Patches zero-day API schema validation bypass (CVSS 9.8)
  • Enhanced OpenAPI 3.1 specification enforcement with machine learning-based anomaly detection
  • Automated bot protection for GraphQL and gRPC-over-HTTP/2 traffic

​​2. Performance Optimizations​​

  • 35% faster TLS 1.3 handshake processing with quantum-resistant Kyber768 algorithms
  • 30% reduction in false positives for Kubernetes ingress traffic inspection
  • Dynamic caching improvements for JSON/REST API payloads exceeding 10MB

​​3. Operational Enhancements​​

  • Native integration with Red Hat OpenShift 4.12+ service mesh
  • Extended AWS WAFv3 policy migration templates
  • Real-time attack visualization in FortiAnalyzer 8.2+ dashboards

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Supported Platforms​​ ​​Minimum OS​​ ​​Virtual Hardware​​ ​​Storage​​
KVM (CentOS 8.6+) FortiOS 7.0.4 8 vCPU, 16GB RAM 120GB SSD
Proxmox VE 7.4+ FortiOS 7.0.2 12 vCPU, 24GB RAM 200GB NVMe
OpenStack Yoga (2023.1) FortiOS 7.0.0 16 vCPU, 32GB RAM 500GB HDD

​​Operational Constraints​​:

  • Requires libvirt 8.0+ for full feature parity
  • Incompatible with legacy TLS 1.0/1.1 configurations
  • Limited to 1Gbps throughput when Advanced Bot Detection is enabled

​​Limitations and Restrictions​​

  1. ​​Functional Constraints​​:

    • Maximum 250,000 concurrent API transactions in deep inspection mode
    • No backward compatibility with FortiManager 6.4.x policy sets

  2. ​​Security Restrictions​​:

    • Disabled automatic signature updates in FIPS 140-3 Level 2 mode
    • Restricted payload inspection for WebSocket binary frames

  3. ​​Performance Thresholds​​:

    • 20% throughput reduction when OWASP CRS 3.3 rule sets are active
    • Limited to 500 virtual hosts per appliance instance
