CVE-2023-0007Network attack vector

Administrator-context script execution via stored payload

Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 24, 2025

Stored XSS in PAN-OS on Panorama appliances allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another administrator's browser. The Panorama web interface persists administrator-supplied JavaScript without neutralizing it and later renders it to another administrator. A read-write administrator account is required; viewing the stored content lets the payload act within the victim administrator's browser context.
