Exploitation evidence
Known exploited · CISA KEV listed
Added 2024-04-12. Ransomware campaign use: Known.
CISA 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.
CISA due date: 2024-04-19. This is the catalog’s deadline, not an assessment of your organization’s exposure.

Fixes and workarounds
We strongly advise customers to immediately upgrade to a fixed version of PAN-OS to protect their devices even when workarounds and mitigations have been applied. This issue is fixed in PAN-OS 10.2.9-h1, PAN-OS 11.0.4-h1, PAN-OS 11.1.2-h3, and in all later PAN-OS versions. Customers who upgrade to these versions will be fully protected.
Reported workarounds: Recommended Mitigation: Customers with a Threat Prevention subscription can block attacks for this vulnerability using Threat IDs 95187, 95189, and 95191 (available in Applications and Threats content version 8836-8695 and later). Please monitor this advisory and new Threat Prevention content updates for additional Threat Prevention IDs around CVE-2024-3400. To apply the Threat IDs, customers must ensure that vulnerability protection has been applied to their GlobalProtect interface to prevent exploitation of this issue on their device. Please see https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/globalprotect-articles/applying-vulnerability-protection-to-globalprotect-interfaces/ta-p/340184 for more information.
