CVE-2026-0262: PAN-OS: Denial of Service Vulnerabilities in Network Traffic Parsing

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: 0.35% (FIRST EPSS).
  • 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.
  • Fixed version: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.2.10-h36, 10.2.13-h21, 10.2.16-h7; Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access 10.2.10-h36, 11.2.7-h13.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.2.10-h36, 10.2.13-h21, 10.2.16-h7; Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access 10.2.10-h36, 11.2.7-h13 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition by sending specially crafted network traffic. Panorama and Cloud NGFW are not impacted by these vulnerabilities.
