Description

CVE-2026-0286 is a command injection vulnerability in the management plane of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software. It allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating system commands as root. The vulnerability affects PAN-OS on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and Panorama (virtual and M-Series). Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not impacted. The risk is reduced if CLI access is restricted to a limited group of administrators.
