A vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) to the firewall. Repeated attempts to trigger this issue results in the firewall entering into maintenance mode.
A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Browser allows a locally authenticated non-admin user to retrieve sensitive data from Prisma Browser.
Browser self-protection should be enabled to mitigate this issue.
CVE-2025-4617 is a low-severity vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Prisma Browser on Windows that allows a locally authenticated non-admin user to bypass the browser's screenshot control feature due to improper protection of an alternate path. Exploitation requires local access with standard user privileges and does not require user interaction. The vulnerability stems from insufficient policy enforcement, specifically related to the browser's self-protection mechanisms. There are no known exploits in the wild, and no patches have been released yet. The impact is limited to confidentiality as it enables unauthorized screenshots, potentially exposing sensitive information. European organizations using Prisma Browser should ensure browser self-protection is enabled and restrict local user access to trusted personnel. Countries with significant Palo Alto Networks deployments and critical infrastructure are more likely to be affected. Overall, the threat is low severity but should be monitored and mitigated proactively.
An insufficient validation of an untrusted input vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Browser allows a locally authenticated non-admin user to revert the browser’s security controls.
A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker to reboot a firewall by sending a specially crafted packet through the dataplane. Repeated attempts to initiate a reboot causes the firewall to enter maintenance mode.
This issue is applicable to the PAN-OS software versions listed below on PA-Series firewalls, VM-Series firewalls, and Prisma® Access software. This issue does not affect Cloud NGFW.
We have successfully completed the Prisma Access upgrade for all customers, with the exception of those facing issues such as conflicting maintenance windows. Remaining customers will be promptly scheduled for an upgrade through our standard upgrade process.
An improper input neutralization vulnerability in the management web interface of the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated administrator to bypass system restrictions and execute arbitrary commands.
The security risk posed by this issue is significantly minimized when CLI access is restricted to a limited group of administrators.
Cloud NGFW and Prisma® Access are not affected by this vulnerability.
An information disclosure vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated administrator to view session tokens of users authenticated to the firewall web UI. This may allow impersonation of users whose session tokens are leaked.
The security risk posed by this issue is significantly minimized when CLI access is restricted to a limited group of administrators.
Cloud NGFW and Prisma® Access are not affected by this vulnerability.
A problem with the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR Microsoft 365 Defender Pack can result in exposure of user credentials in application logs. Normally, these application logs are only viewable by local users and are included when generating logs for troubleshooting purposes. This means that these credentials are exposed to recipients of the application logs.
An information exposure vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks User-ID Credential Agent (Windows-based) can expose the service account password under specific non-default configurations. This allows an unprivileged Domain User to escalate privileges by exploiting the account’s permissions. The impact varies by configuration:
* Minimally Privileged Accounts: Enable disruption of User-ID Credential Agent operations (e.g., uninstalling or disabling the agent service), weakening network security policies that leverage Credential Phishing Prevention https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/advanced-url-filtering/administration/url-filtering-features/credential-phishing-prevention under a Domain Credential Filter https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/advanced-url-filtering/administration/url-filtering-features/credential-phishing-prevention/methods-to-check-for-corporate-credential-submissions configuration.
* Elevated Accounts (Server Operator, Domain Join, Legacy Features): Permit increased impacts, including server control (e.g., shutdown/restart), domain manipulation (e.g., rogue computer objects), and network compromise via reconnaissance or client probing.
A credential management flaw in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR® Broker VM causes different Broker VM images to share identical default credentials for internal services. Users knowing these default credentials could access internal services on other Broker VM installations.
The attacker must have network access to the Broker VM to exploit this issue.
An insufficient certificate validation issue in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app enables attackers to connect the GlobalProtect app to arbitrary servers. This can enable a local non-administrative operating system user or an attacker on the same subnet to install malicious root certificates on the endpoint and subsequently install malicious software signed by the malicious root certificates on that endpoint.
A problem with the implementation of the MACsec protocol in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® results in the cleartext exposure of the connectivity association key (CAK). This issue is only applicable to PA-7500 Series devices which are in an NGFW cluster.
A user who possesses this key can read messages being sent between devices in a NGFW Cluster. There is no impact in non-clustered firewalls or clusters of firewalls that do not enable MACsec.
A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Checkov by Prisma® Cloud can result in the cleartext exposure of Prisma Cloud access keys in Checkov's output.
An unsafe deserialization vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Checkov by Prisma® Cloud allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code as a non administrative user by scanning a malicious terraform file when using Checkov in Prisma® Cloud.
This issue impacts Checkov 3.0 versions earlier than Checkov 3.2.415.
An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ App on Linux devices enables a locally authenticated non administrative user to disable the app even if the GlobalProtect app configuration would not normally permit them to do so.
The GlobalProtect app on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome OS and GlobalProtect UWP app are not affected.
An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ App on enables a locally authenticated non administrative user to escalate their privileges to root on macOS and Linux or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows.
The GlobalProtect app on iOS, Android, Chrome OS and GlobalProtect UWP app are not affected.
An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ App on macOS devices enables a locally authenticated non administrative user to disable the app even if the GlobalProtect app configuration would not normally permit them to do so.
The GlobalProtect app on Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS and GlobalProtect UWP app are not affected.
An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Autonomous Digital Experience Manager allows a locally authenticated low privileged user on macOS endpoints to escalate their privileges to root.
An improper access control vulnerability in the Endpoint Traffic Policy Enforcement https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/globalprotect/6-0/globalprotect-app-new-features/new-features-released-in-gp-app/endpoint-traffic-policy-enforcement feature of the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app allows certain packets to remain unencrypted instead of being properly secured within the tunnel.
An attacker with physical access to the network can inject rogue devices to intercept these packets. Under normal operating conditions, the GlobalProtect app automatically recovers from this interception within one minute.
An information disclosure vulnerability in the SD-WAN feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an unauthorized user to view unencrypted data sent from the firewall through the SD-WAN interface. This requires the user to be able to intercept packets sent from the firewall.
Cloud NGFW and Prisma® Access are not affected by this vulnerability.
