Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Command Injection Vulnerability
Palo Alto Networks - PAN-OS · Listed in the CISA KEV since 2024-04-12. This indicates confirmed attacks in production environments.
Required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions as they become available. Otherwise, users with vulnerable versions of affected devices should enable Threat Prevention IDs available from the vendor. See the vendor bulletin for more details and a patch release schedule.
CVE-2024-3400
CriticalCVSS 10.0KEVSummary
In Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect feature, a command injection vulnerability due to arbitrary file creation exists. An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes full compromise of the firewall by an unauthenticated attacker, potentially leading to network-wide security breach.
Recommendation
Immediately update PAN-OS to a patched version and review GlobalProtect configuration.

- CVE-2016-1712High
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS versions before 5.0.19, 5.1.x before 5.1.12, 6.0.x before 6.0.14, 6.1.x before 6.1.12, and 7.0.x before 7.0.8 may allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging improper sanitization of the root_reboot local invocation.
- CVE-2016-3654High
The device management command line interface (CLI) in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS before version 5.0.18 and in versions 5.1.x before 5.1.11, 6.0.x before 6.0.13, 6.1.x before 6.1.10, and 7.0.x before 7.0.5H2 allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary OS commands via an SSH command parameter.
- CVE-2026-0284Critical
An XML injection vulnerability in the Large Scale VPN (LSVPN) functionality of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to inject malicious XML content, potentially leading to information disclosure or corruption of internal LSVPN satellite data. Panorama, Cloud NGFW, and Prisma Access are not affected by this vulnerability.
- CVE-2024-3393HighActively exploited
A Denial of Service vulnerability in the DNS Security feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a malicious packet through the data plane of the firewall that reboots the firewall. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode.
- CVE-2022-0028HighActively exploited
A PAN-OS URL filtering policy misconfiguration could allow a network-based attacker to conduct reflected and amplified TCP denial-of-service (RDoS) attacks. The attack would appear to originate from a Palo Alto Networks PA-Series, VM-Series, or CN-Series firewall against an attacker-specified target. This requires a URL filtering profile with blocked categories assigned to a source zone with an external facing interface.
- CVE-2017-15940Critical
The web interface packet capture management component in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS before 6.1.19, 7.0.x before 7.0.19, 7.1.x before 7.1.14, and 8.0.x before 8.0.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
- CVE-2016-9150Critical
Buffer overflow in the management web interface in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS before version 5.0.20, 5.1.x before 5.1.13, 6.0.x before 6.0.15, 6.1.x before 6.1.15, 7.0.x before 7.0.11, and 7.1.x before 7.1.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Original NVD description (English source)
A command injection as a result of arbitrary file creation vulnerability in the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software for specific PAN-OS versions and distinct feature configurations may enable an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall. Cloud NGFW, Panorama appliances, and Prisma Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.
