Firewall Fiasco: Over 22K Devices Risk Wrath of ‘UTA0218’ Hackers Due to CVE-2024-3400 Flaw

Facing a cyber “whoopsy-daisy,” about 22,500 Palo Alto firewall devices forgot their armor against the pesky CVE-2024-3400 flaw. While patches played catch-up, attackers went “rooting” around with glee. Time to patch up or risk a hacky hack dance-off!

Hot Take:

It seems like the cybersecurity gods are once again smiting us with their wrath, and this time they’ve unleashed the 'CVE-2024-3400' beast upon the world of Palo Alto GlobalProtect firewall devices. If you're one of the 22,500 admins out there who haven't patched up yet, you might want to swap your coffee for something stronger. Because honey, you've got a critical command injection vulnerability to deal with—complete with root privileges and a fancy backdoor named 'Upstyle.' And just when you thought disabling telemetry was your get-out-of-jail-free card, turns out it's more like a 'please-hack-me' sign. Better patch up before this digital wildfire spreads to your corner of the internet!
