PAN-OS: Unencrypted Data Transfer when using AES-128-CCM on Intel-based hardware devices
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- 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: 0.16% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h14, 10.2.11, 11.0.7.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h14, 10.2.11, 11.0.7 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Using the AES-128-CCM algorithm for IPSec on certain Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® firewalls (PA-7500, PA-5400, PA-5400f, PA-3400, PA-1600, PA-1400, and PA-400 Series) leads to unencrypted data transfer to devices that are connected to the PAN-OS firewall through IPSec. This issue does not affect Cloud NGFWs, Prisma® Access instances, or PAN-OS VM-Series firewalls. NOTE: The AES-128-CCM encryption algorithm is not recommended for use.
