SANS Internet Storm Center has observed a significant rise in internet-wide scans targeting the critical PAN-OS GlobalProtect vulnerability (CVE-2024-3400). This flaw, disclosed last year, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on affected firewalls. The scans involve attempts to upload and retrieve files, indicating potential pre-exploit staging activities. The vulnerability is a command injection flaw that can be exploited to gain unauthorized access and control over vulnerable firewalls. This development underscores the ongoing threat posed by unpatched systems and the importance of timely security updates. The scans are part of a broader trend of increased cyber activity targeting critical infrastructure and enterprise networks.
