Yes. CISA added CVE-2025-64446 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 14 Nov 2025, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild.
CISA does not list known ransomware use for it. That can change, and exploitation alone is reason to fix it first.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Check Fortinet's advisory for the fixed versions, and if you can't patch quickly, restrict access to the affected FortiWeb and watch it for signs of compromise.
