The firm has confirmed a limited number of attacks using this vulnerability.

Upcoming Fixes for CVE-2024-3400:

Although there are no fixes available, Palo Alto issued some mitigation recommendations:

Apply a vulnerability protection security profile to the GlobalProtect interface to prevent exploitation
Customers with a Threat Prevention subscription can block attacks for this vulnerability by enabling Threat ID 95187

The firm announced the flaw will be fixed on April 14 during a series of hotfixes for PAN-OS versions 11.1.2-h3, 11.0.4-h1, and 10.2.9-h1.
