Workaround

Recommended mitigation—The vast majority of firewalls already follow Palo Alto Networks and industry best practices. However, if you haven’t already, we strongly recommend that you secure access to your management interface according to our best practice deployment guidelines. Specifically, you should restrict access to the management interface to only trusted internal IP addresses to prevent external access from the internet.
