Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0110)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote authenticated administrator with the ability to make gNMI requests to the PAN-OS management web interface can bypass system restrictions and run arbitrary commands as the “__openconfig” user by sending specially crafted requests to port 9339/tcp.
