An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-38046 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-2023-38046/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38046/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38046","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38046/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38046","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rmqh-gmh5-hf3w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Palo Alto PAN-OS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated administrator can read local system files and resources by committing a specifically crafted configuration in PAN-OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[{"product":"pan-os","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-610","name":"Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere"}],"description":"A vulnerability exists in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software that enables an authenticated administrator with the privilege to commit a specifically created configuration to read local files and resources from the system.","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":"PAN-OS: Read System Files and Resources During Configuration Commit","id":"CVE-2023-38046","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"paloaltonetworks:pan-os","products":["paloaltonetworks:pan-os"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"A BOLA vulnerability in GET, PUT, DELETE /categories/{categoryId} in EasyAppointments \u003c 1.5.0.","id":"CVE-2023-38047"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Extension - admiror-design-studio.com - XSS in Admiror Gallery component for Joomla 5.0.0-5.2.0","id":"CVE-2023-38045"},"products":["Cloud NGFW","PAN-OS","Prisma Access"],"published":"2023-07-12","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-10","vendors":["Palo Alto Networks"]},"summary":"An authenticated administrator can read local system files and resources by committing a specifically crafted configuration in PAN-OS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38046/"}
