CVE-2026-0227: PAN-OS: Firewall Denial of Service (DoS) in GlobalProtect Gateway and Portal
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- 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: 0.73% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 54.5% 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-h20, 10.2.10-h30, 10.2.13-h18; Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access 10.2.10-h29, 10.2.4-h43, 11.2.7-h8.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h20, 10.2.10-h30, 10.2.13-h18; Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access 10.2.10-h29, 10.2.4-h43, 11.2.7-h8 or later.
