Over 16,000 internet-exposed Fortinet devices have been detected as compromised with a new symlink backdoor that allows read-only access to sensitive files on previously compromised devices. This exposure is being reported by threat monitoring platform The Shadowserver Foundation, which initially reported 14,000 devices were exposed. Today, Shadowserver's Piotr Kijewski told BleepingComputer that the cybersecurity organization now detects 16,620 devices impacted by the recently revealed persis

Fortinet warns that threat actors use a post-exploitation technique that helps them maintain read-only access to previously compromised FortiGate VPN devices even after the original attack vector was patched. Earlier this week, Fortinet began sending emails to customers warning that their FortiGate/FortiOS devices were compromised based on telemetry received from FortiGuard devices. These emails were titled "Notification of device compromise - FortiGate / FortiOS - ** Urgent action required **

A supply chain attack on the widely used 'tj-actions/changed-files' GitHub Action, used by 23,000 repositories, potentially allowed threat actors to steal CI/CD secrets from GitHub Actions build logs. The GitHub Action is a very popular automation tool designed for GitHub Actions workflows. It allows developers to identify files changed in a pull request or commit and take actions based on those changes, generally used in testing, workflow triggering, and automated code linting and validation.

Arguably, Semgrep is overkill for this case. But Lewis Ardern on our team wrote a Semgrep rule to find usages of tj-actions, which you can run locally (without sending code to the cloud) via: semgrep --config r/10Uz5qo/semgrep.tj-actions-compromised . And if we find more information about what tags & commits are affected, we can update the rule over time to become more precise about whether or not you could be impacted. At time of writing, it looks like all versions are compromised.
