Environment:
Palo Alto Firewalls
PAN-OS 10.2.x, 11.0.x, 11.1.x (Refer to the Palo Alto Networks Security Advisory for the affected versions)
CVE-2024-3400
GlobalProtect

Procedure:

Level 0 Probe: Unsuccessful exploitation attempt
Suggested Remediation: Update to the latest PAN-OS hotfix.
As best practice to secure running-configs, create a master key and elect AES-256-GCM.
Reason for suggested remediation: PAN-OS hotfixes sufficiently fix the vulnerability. Private Data reset or Factory reset is not suggested as there is no indication of a compromise.

Level 1 Test:
Vulnerability being tested on the device, a 0-byte file has been created and is resident on the firewall, no indication of any known unauthorized command execution.
Suggested Remediation: Update to the latest PAN-OS hotfix.
As best practice to secure running-configs, create a master key and elect AES-256-GCM.
Reason for suggested remediation: PAN-OS hotfixes sufficiently fix the vulnerability. Private data reset or factory reset is not suggested as there is no indication of any known unauthorized command execution or exfiltration of files.

Level 2 Potential Exfiltration:
A file on the device has been copied to a location accessible via a web request, though the file may or may not have been subsequently downloaded. Typically, the file we have observed being copied is running_config.xml. The suggested remediation will eliminate the possibility of capturing forensic artifacts.
Suggested Remediation: Update to the latest PAN-OS hotfix and perform a Private Data Reset
