CVE-2025-4229Network attack vector

Traffic disclosure via unencrypted SD-WAN forwarding

Published Jun 13, 2025 · Updated Jun 13, 2025

Information disclosure in PAN-OS SD-WAN allows attackers to read unencrypted data by intercepting packets sent from the firewall. The SD-WAN forwarding path sends payload data without encryption when an Interface Profile with Direct Internet Access is configured. Exposure requires an Advanced SD-WAN License, that configuration, and a network position capable of passively capturing the traffic.
