CVE-2024-3400

CRITICAL CISA KEV EXPLOIT POC TTE Zero-Day Pub 12/04 Upd 21/10

Overview

This vulnerability is a command injection flaw caused by improper handling of arbitrary file creation within the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS. The root cause lies in insufficient input validation of file paths manipulated via crafted HTTP requests, allowing injection of shell commands. The affected component is the GlobalProtect portal and SSL VPN subsystem in specific PAN-OS versions, where crafted cookie headers enable unauthorized file manipulation leading to command execution.

Vulnerability Description

A command injection as a result of arbitrary file creation vulnerability in the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software for specific PAN-OS versions and distinct feature configurations may enable an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall. Cloud NGFW, Panorama appliances, and Prisma Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall, gaining full control over the affected PAN-OS device. This enables complete system compromise, including the ability to manipulate firewall policies, intercept or disrupt network traffic, and move laterally within the network. No user interaction or credentials are required, increasing the risk of rapid exploitation and severe operational impact for organizations relying on the vulnerable firewall.

Solution

Apply the patches provided by Palo Alto Networks as detailed in their security advisory at https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-3400. The fix is included in PAN-OS versions 10.2.2 and later. Administrators should upgrade affected PAN-OS instances promptly. No specific workarounds are recommended; reliance on vendor-supplied patches is necessary to remediate the vulnerability.
