A critical severity command injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS has been exploited in limited targeted attacks. While a fix is not yet available, patches are expected to be released on April 14 and mitigation steps are available.

Background

On April 12, Palo Alto Networks released a security advisory for a critical command injection vulnerability affecting PAN-OS, the custom operating system (OS) Palo Alto Networks (PAN) uses in their next-generation firewalls.

Analysis

CVE-2024-3400 is a critical command injection vulnerability affecting the GlobalProtect Gateway feature of PAN-OS. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute code on an affected firewall with root privileges. According to the advisory, this vulnerability impacts PAN-OS versions 10.2, 11 and 11.1 only when both GlobalProtect gateway and device telemetry are enabled.

Palo Alto Networks reports limited exploitation in the wild

According to the advisory, Palo Alto Networks confirmed that this vulnerability has been exploited in-the-wild in a “limited number of attacks.” While no specific details about these attacks were available at the time this blog was published, researchers at Volexity are credited with discovering the flaw. Steven Adair, President at Volexity, posted that exploitation was observed “at multiple customers” and that his team discovered in-the-wild exploitation “just two days ago.”

We have seen limited exploitation but impact at multiple customers. We first detected this just two days ago. Impressive response from the Palo Alto Networks team, as they quickly worked with us and have now pushed a Threat Protection signature with a fix to come April 14.

Historical exploitation of PAN-OS flaws

Network edge devices are frequently targeted by attackers. CVE-2020-2021, a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in PAN-OS, which also received a CVSSv3 score of 10.0, was highlighted as a frequently exploited vulnerability by advanced persistent threat (APT) actors in a joint Cyber Security Advisory from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

CVE-2019-1579, a remote code execution vulnerability affecting PAN-OS devices, is another frequently exploited vulnerability by APT attackers as the National Security Agency (NSA) warned on October 7, 2019.

In addition to APT actors, both CVE-2020-2021 and CVE-2019-1579 have been exploited in the wild by ransomware groups, which was highlighted in our Ransomware Ecosystem report.

Proof of concept

At the time this blog post was published on April 12, no public proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-3400 was available.

Solution

As of April 12, Palo Alto Networks has not provided patches for this vulnerability. However the advisory states that hotfix releases of PAN-OS are expected to be available by April 14.

Affected VersionHotfix Release VersionExpected Release Date
PAN-OS 10.2 prior to 10.2.9-h1PAN-OS 10.2.9-h1April 14
PAN-OS 11.0 prior to 11.0.4-h1PAN-OS 11.0.4-h1April 14
PAN-OS 11.1 prior to 11.1.2-h3PAN-OS 11.1.2-h3April 14

While patches are not yet available, Palo Alto Networks does provide the following mitigation options:

  • Threat ID 95187 can block attacks for those customers who have a Threat Prevention subscription
  • Additionally, vulnerability protection must be applied to the GlobalProtect interface to prevent exploitation

If the Threat Protection mitigation cannot be applied, Palo Alto Networks recommends disabling device telemetry until the patch is available. As these mitigations may be updated in the future, we recommend reviewing the advisory for the most up-to-date mitigation guidance.
