Thursday’s brief: 18 critical Fortinet fixes, then Zoom, Apple and Monday’s eMudhra cutoff

By George Bailey   Published: 11/12/26   2 min read

Good morning. Fortinet shipped fixes for 18 critical bugs on Tuesday. None are exploited yet. Zoom and Apple also have updates worth pushing, and Monday is the day Windows stops trusting eMudhra certificates.

Coffee first. Then a firewall upgrade, a Zoom version check, a phone update and a certificate search.

Lead Story

Fortinet: 18 critical fixes across FortiOS, FortiMail and FortiClient. Clustered FortiGates go first: one bug runs commands as super admin through HA packets. Upgrade to 7.6.8 or 7.4.13.

Also Worth Your Attention

Zoom Workplace for Windows: a 9.6 bug an outsider can trigger. Get every PC to 7.1.8 and turn on auto-update.

Check your Zoom version →

Apple: Bluetooth pairing without a tap, and strangers in iMessage groups. Require iOS 27.2.1 or 26.7.3 and the matching macOS in MDM.

Set the MDM deadline →

eMudhra: Windows drops the last roots on Monday. Find any emSign certificate on your sites or vendors’ portals and replace it before November 16.

Run the certificate search →
