An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2024-0012 in the wild since at least 18 Nov 2024, including in ransomware campaigns.\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-2024-0012/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-0012/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-0012","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-0012/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-0012","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mw9x-2qwv-599p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PAN-OS firewall","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers with network access to the management interface can gain administrator privileges and modify firewall configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[{"product":"pan-os","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/AU:N/R:U/V:C/RE:H/U:Red","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"An authentication bypass in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to gain PAN-OS administrator privileges to perform administrative actions, tamper with the configuration, or exploit other authenticated privilege escalation vulnerabilities like  CVE-2024-9474 https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-9474 .\n\nThe risk of this issue is greatly reduced if you secure access to the management web interface by restricting access to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended  best practice deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 .\n\nThis issue is applicable only to PAN-OS 10.2, PAN-OS 11.0, PAN-OS 11.1, and PAN-OS 11.2 software.\n\nCloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-11-18","github_poc":10,"max_poc_stars":24,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2024-11-19T08:29:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/watchtowrlabs/palo-alto-panos-cve-2024-0012","stars":24,"title":null},{"date":"2024-11-19T11:30:25Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Sachinart/CVE-2024-0012-POC","stars":20,"title":"CVE-2024-0012 PAN-OS: Authentication Bypass in the Management Web Interface (PAN-SA-2024-0015) RCE POC"},{"date":"2024-12-11T18:13:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/TalatumLabs/CVE-2024-0012_CVE-2024-9474_PoC","stars":8,"title":"This PoC is targeting vulnerabilities in Palo Alto PAN-OS, specifically CVE-2024-0012  and CVE-2024-9474.
