Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 8/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.47% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.7, 10.2.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.7, 10.2.2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A server-side request forgery in PAN-OS software enables an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to use the administrative web interface as a proxy, which enables the attacker to view internal network resources not otherwise accessible.
