Security News > 2024 > April > Exploit released for Palo Alto PAN-OS bug used in attacks, patch now
Exploit code is now available for a maximum severity and actively exploited vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks' PAN-OS firewall software.
While Palo Alto Networks has started releasing hotfixes on Monday to secure unpatched firewalls exposed to attacks, the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild as a zero-day since March 26th to backdoor firewalls using Upstyle malware, pivot to internal networks, and steal data by a threat group believed to be state-sponsored and tracked as UTA0218.
One day after Palo Alto Networks started releasing CVE-2024-3400 hotfixes, watchTowr Labs also released a detailed analysis of the vulnerability and a proof-of-concept exploit that can be used to execute shell commands on unpatched firewalls.
