Ivanti, Fortinet, Palo Alto, and Cisco keep shipping the same class of bug: memory-unsafe C on the unauthenticated, internet-facing path of their VPNs and firewalls, much of it ransomware-linked and slow to be disclosed. Patching the CVE often does not remove an attacker who already got in. The perimeter appliance is a structural liability, not a streak of bad luck, so treat it like one: shrink exposure, assume prior compromise when you patch an exposed device, make end-of-life a signed decision, and read these advisories as day-zero events.
