Gunra warning turns perimeter patching into a credential-and-recovery incident investigation

A new joint advisory describes a ransomware path from vulnerable internet-facing technology through privileged VDI and server credentials to databases and network-attached storage.

Executive consequence

Treat relevant perimeter exposure as a potential intrusion path, not solely a patch queue: the authorities describe Gunra actors using stolen privileged credentials to reach operationally critical data systems.

Decision today

Inventory internet-facing FortiOS, FortiProxy and VPN assets against CVE-2024-55591 and CVE-2025-24472.
