Questions about CVE-2024-3400
What does this mean?
A flaw in GlobalProtect lets an attacker create arbitrary files, which leads to OS command injection. The advisory says an unauthenticated remote attacker may run arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall.Source: security.paloaltonetworks.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
PAN-OS 10.2, 11.0 and 11.1 firewalls configured with a GlobalProtect gateway or GlobalProtect portal (or both) are in scope. Check the PAN-OS version on the firewall and whether GlobalProtect is configured as a gateway or portal. Cloud NGFW, Panorama appliances and Prisma Access are not impacted.Source: security.paloaltonetworks.com
What should I do about it?
Upgrade to PAN-OS 10.2.9-h1, 11.0.4-h1, 11.1.2-h3 or any later PAN-OS version. These are the hotfix releases the advisory lists as fixed.Source: security.paloaltonetworks.com
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-04-12, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
