CVE-2024-9465Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated credential disclosure via Checkpoint parser SQL injection

Published Oct 9, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2025

SQL injection in Palo Alto Networks Expedition before 1.2.96 allows remote attackers to disclose credentials and read or create files. The unauthenticated CHECKPOINT.php parser interpolates the signatureid request parameter into an SQL query, enabling blind queries against the users and devices tables. Network access to the web application is sufficient; exploitation exposes password hashes and firewall API keys and permits arbitrary file reads and writes.
