CVE-2025-0128Network attack vector

Firewall reboots via malformed SCEP packets

Published Apr 11, 2025 · Updated Apr 11, 2025

Denial of service in PAN-OS SCEP authentication allows remote attackers to reboot affected firewalls with a crafted packet. Palo Alto Networks identifies packet processing in the SCEP authentication feature as the locus but has not disclosed the exceptional condition mishandled. No explicit SCEP configuration is required; repeated packets force maintenance mode, while Prisma Access requires remote authenticated users.
