CVE-2025-0108: PAN-OS: Authentication Bypass in the Management Web Interface

HighCVSS 8.8 · v4.0KEVWeaponized Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Now (action score 95/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Feb 18, 2025). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Mar 11, 2025.
  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 98.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h9, 10.2.10-h14, 10.2.11-h12.

Patch today or shut off access. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h9, 10.2.10-h14, 10.2.11-h12 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

An authentication bypass in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to bypass the authentication otherwise required by the PAN-OS management web interface and invoke certain PHP scripts. While invoking these PHP scripts does not enable remote code execution, it can negatively impact integrity and confidentiality of PAN-OS. You can greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management web interface to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended best practices 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 software.
