Unauthorized access via retained deleted-user sessions
Published May 14, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2025
Insufficient session expiration in Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud Compute Edition before 34.01.129 allows attackers to retain web access. The web interface leaves an issued session valid after its associated user account is deleted, so later requests continue under the removed identity. Exploitation requires a previously authenticated session and an account-deletion action, and it preserves only the removed account's prior access.
