Solutions
CNA: Version Minor Version Suggested Solution Checkov by Prisma Cloud 3.3 3.2.0 through 3.3.24Upgrade to 3.3.25 or later. Checkov integration in Prisma Cloud is upgraded automatically when new versions become available.
Workarounds

Exploits
CNA: Palo Alto Networks is not aware of any malicious exploitation of these issues.
