Authenticated file exfiltration via blind XXE
Published Nov 14, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Blind XXE injection in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS allows remote authenticated users to exfiltrate arbitrary firewall files. Palo Alto Networks has not identified the affected management endpoint or parser; the disclosed behavior causes attacker-supplied XML external entities to send file contents to an attacker-controlled server. Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication and network access to the firewall management interface, and the reported consequence is arbitrary-file exfiltration.

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.
- Affected versionversion=10.1.0 <10.1.10 changes=[{"at":"10.1.10","status":"unaffected"}]
- Affected versionversion=10.2.0 <10.2.5 changes=[{"at":"10.2.5","status":"unaffected"}]
