Seriously? GlobalProtect *Again*?!
Right, listen up you lot. Some script kiddies – and probably state actors, let’s be real – are now actively scanning for CVE-2024-3400 in Palo Alto Global Protect firewalls. It’s a vulnerability that lets someone bypass multi-factor authentication if they can get their grubby hands on a session token. Basically, if you haven’t patched your damn systems yet, you’re basically handing out keys to the kingdom.
SANS ISC is seeing a spike in scans, meaning it’s not just theoretical anymore. They’re *looking* for vulnerable boxes. The article says it affects PAN-OS versions below 10.2.8 and 11.0 before certain patches. Check your version, apply the fix, or prepare to explain why your network is compromised. It’s not rocket science.
Honestly, I’m starting to think some companies just *want* to get hacked. It’s infuriating. Do your job, people! Patch your shit!
And don’t come crying to me when things go south. I’ll be too busy laughing.
Related Anecdote: Back in ’08, had a client who refused to patch their Windows servers because “it might break something.” Got ransomware three weeks later. Three. Weeks. They then paid six figures to get it fixed. Six. Figures. Some people are beyond help.
