CVE-2025-0130Network attack vector

Firewall reboot via unchecked web-proxy packet exceptions

Published May 14, 2025 · Updated May 29, 2026

Denial of service in affected PAN-OS 11.1 and 11.2 releases allows remote attackers to reboot firewalls with crafted packet bursts. PAN-OS omits an exception check while its enabled web-proxy feature processes the malicious traffic, leaving the firewall unresponsive. Exposure requires a web-proxy license and the feature enabled; one successful attempt causes a reboot, while repeated attempts force maintenance mode.
