    • Solution
    Workaround:
    You can prevent exploitation of this issue by inserting an unimpacted BGP router configured to drop the invalid BGP update instead of propagating it between the attacker-originated BGP update and the PAN-OS or Prisma SD-WAN ION router. This stops the invalid BGP update from reaching the affected router.
