It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-8688 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-2024-8688/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8688/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8688","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8688/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8688","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5f55-v7c2-39w2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Palo Alto PAN-OS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files on the firewall via the CLI due to improper neutralization of matching symbols.","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":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/AU:N/R:U/V:C/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-155","name":"Improper Neutralization of Wildcards or Matching Symbols"}],"description":"An improper neutralization of matching symbols vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS command line interface (CLI) enables authenticated administrators (including read-only administrators) with access to the CLI to to read arbitrary files on the firewall.","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: Arbitrary File Read Vulnerability in the Command Line Interface (CLI)","id":"CVE-2024-8688","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"paloaltonetworks:pan-os","products":["paloaltonetworks:pan-os"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"ActiveMQ Content Pack: Cleartext Exposure of Credentials","id":"CVE-2024-8689"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PAN-OS: Cleartext Exposure of GlobalProtect Portal Passcodes","id":"CVE-2024-8687"},"products":["Cloud NGFW","PAN-OS","Prisma Access"],"published":"2024-09-11","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-11","vendors":["Palo Alto Networks"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files on the firewall via the CLI due to improper neutralization of matching symbols.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8688/"}
