The risk is greatest if you allow access to the management web interface from the internet or from any untrusted network either:
Directly; or
Through a dataplane interface that includes a management interface profile.
You greatly reduce the risk if you ensure that you allow only trusted internal IP addresses to access the management web interface.
Use the following steps to identify your recently detected devices in our internet scans.
To find any assets that require remediation, visit the Assets section of the Customer Support Portal:https://support.paloaltonetworks.com and then select Products → Assets → All Assets → Remediation Required).
Review the list of your assets that we discovered in our scans to have an internet-facing management interface. We tagged these assets with ‘PAN-SA-2024-0015’ and a last seen timestamp (in UTC). If you do not see any such assets listed, then our scan did not find any devices associated with your account in the past three days that have an internet-facing management interface.
GlobalProtect™ portals and gateways are not vulnerable to this issue. However, if you configure a management profile on interfaces with GlobalProtect portals or gateways, then you are exposing the firewall to attacks through the management web interface (typically accessible on port 4443).
