The risk is greatest if you configure the management interface to enable access from the internet or any untrusted network either:

  1. Directly
    or
  2. Through a dataplane interface that includes a management interface profile.

The risk is greatly reduced if you make sure that only trusted internal IP addresses are allowed to access the management interface.

Use the following steps to identify your recently detected devices in our Internet scans:

  1. To find your known assets that require remediation action, visit the Assets section of Customer Support Portal at https://support.paloaltonetworks.com (Products → Assets → All Assets → Remediation Required).
  2. The list of your known devices with an internet-facing management interface discovered in our scans are tagged with PAN-SA-2024-0015 with a last seen timestamp in UTC. If no such devices are listed, it indicates our scan did not find any devices with internet-facing management interface for your account in the last three days.
