Root code execution via administrator-controlled filename
Published May 13, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
External filename control in PAN-OS Panorama SD WAN 7.1, 8.0, before 8.1.14, and before 9.0.7 allows remote authenticated users to write files. The undisclosed request handler accepts an administrator-controlled filename and uses it for file creation without restricting the destination path. Administrator access to the management interface is required; successful exploitation can execute arbitrary code with root permissions on managed firewalls.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
