Palo Alto Firewall Fiasco: Critical RCE Vulnerability Exploited in the Wild!
Palo Alto’s internet-exposed firewall management interfaces are under attack due to a zero-day unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability. With a CVSS score of 9.3, it’s a critical bug, but Palo Alto is working on a patch. As always, the best defense is a good offense. Or a strong firewall.
Hot Take:
The hackers are having a field day, and Palo Alto’s firewalls are feeling more like screen doors right now. Who knew that their firewall management interface would have more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese? Better get those patches sewn up before hackers play hopscotch all over your network!
Key Points:
- Palo Alto Networks has a zero-day RCE vulnerability in its NGFW management interfaces that’s being actively exploited.
- The vulnerability has a critical CVSS score of 9.3 but lacks an official CVE number.
- Exploitation risk is reduced if management interface access is restricted to specific IPs.
- Palo Alto is developing patches and threat prevention signatures to address the issue.
- Recent similar incidents include other vulnerabilities affecting Palo Alto products and Fortinet.
