An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-6603 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Paloaltonetworks Pan-Os. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6603/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6603/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-6603","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6603/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-6603","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q8cv-h3rc-632g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Palo Alto PAN-OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in the PAN-OS web management UI to gain administrator privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pan-os","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The web management UI in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS before 3.1.12, 4.0.x before 4.0.10, and 4.1.x before 4.1.4 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain administrator privileges via unspecified vectors, aka Ref ID 37034.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6603","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"paloaltonetworks:pan-os","products":["paloaltonetworks:pan-os"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6604"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6602"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-08-31","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-3400","kev_date_added":"2024-04-12","published":"2024-04-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-2021","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-06-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-15944","kev_date_added":"2022-08-18","published":"2017-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-0300","kev_date_added":"2026-05-06","published":"2026-05-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Management Interface Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-0012","kev_date_added":"2024-11-18","published":"2024-11-18"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"PHP Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2026-109618","kev_date_added":"2026-10-26","published":"2026-10-21"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"PHP Stale Internal Request-State","id":"CVE-2026-109619","kev_date_added":"2026-10-26","published":"2026-10-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in the PAN-OS web management UI to gain administrator privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6603/"}
