Authenticated file deletion via attacker-controlled path
Published Apr 11, 2025 · Updated Apr 11, 2025
File deletion in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS and Cloud NGFW allows remote authenticated users to delete limited files through the management interface. Palo Alto Networks has not disclosed the specific management-interface handler or how it accepts an attacker-controlled file name or path. Exploitation requires high-privilege credentials and network access to that interface; deletion is limited to certain logs and configuration files, not system files.
