In a dazzling display of cybersecurity nostalgia, Fortinet has announced that a five-year-old flaw in their FortiOS SSL VPN has finally become the cool-kid target of malicious hackers. This vulnerability, CVE-2020-12812, has been consistently ignored in favor of shinier, newer exploits—until now. So, congrats Fortinet, your little VFX bug is finally having its prom moment!

The flaw, which allows users to bypass the exhilarating second-factor authentication process, was rated a lukewarm 5.2 on the CVSS scale, which, until recently, was about as exciting as a Tuesday afternoon. But apparently, hackers have decided it’s time to bring their retro-chic style to the digital world, exploiting the bug under ‘certain configurations’ that Fortinet tactfully left unsaid. How mysterious!

This newfound hacker interest has administrators scrambling to patch what they thought was their digital version of an old sweater—once useful but now stuck at the bottom of the security wardrobe. Fortinet’s marketing team has seized the moment, valiantly urging everyone to revisit their ancient exploits because nothing says ‘innovative cybersecurity solution’ like a five-year-old bug making a comeback.
