PAN-OS: Authenticated Admin File Read Vulnerability in PAN-OS CLI
A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated admin on the PAN-OS CLI to read arbitrary files. The attacker must have network access to the management interface (web, SSH, console, or telnet) and successfully authenticate to exploit this issue. You can greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted users and internal IP addresses according to our recommended critical deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 . This issue does not affect Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access.
Reserved 2024-12-20 | Published 2025-03-12 | Updated 2025-03-14 | Assigner palo_altoThe risk is highest when you allow access to the management interface from external IP addresses on the internet. Our recommendation is to remediate as soon as possible.
You can greatly reduce the risk of exploitation by restricting access to a jump box that is the only system allowed to access the management interface. This will ensure that attacks can succeed only if they obtain privileged access through those specified IP addresses. We recommend remediating this vulnerability in your next scheduled maintenance cycle.
