CVE-2026-0322: PAN-OS: Authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the Management Interface

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 65/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Oct 14, 2026). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Oct 17, 2026.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 77.6% of all records.
  • 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 10.2.10-h41, 10.2.13-h26, 10.2.16-h11.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.2.10-h41, 10.2.13-h26, 10.2.16-h11 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 · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the management interface of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall. The security risk posed by this issue is minimized by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended  best practice 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 is applicable to PAN-OS software on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual and M-Series). Cloud NGFW and Prisma® Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.
