CVE-2024-3400

Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS

Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect feature contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute commands with root privileges on the firewall.

Exploitation status

  • CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
  • It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
  • US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2024-04-19. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.

Required action

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions as they become available. Otherwise, users with vulnerable versions of affected devices should enable Threat Prevention IDs available from the vendor. See the vendor bulletin for more details and a patch release schedule.
