CVE-2024-9465

Known Exploited Public Exploit
Expedition: SQL Injection Leads to Firewall Admin Credential Disclosure

Description

An SQL injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition allows an unauthenticated attacker to reveal Expedition database contents, such as password hashes, usernames, device configurations, and device API keys. With this, attackers can also create and read arbitrary files on the Expedition system.

Remediation

Solution:

  • The fixes for all listed issues are available in Expedition 1.2.96, and all later Expedition versions. All Expedition usernames, passwords, and API keys should be rotated after upgrading to the fixed version of Expedition. All firewall usernames, passwords, and API keys processed by Expedition should be rotated after updating.

Workaround:

  • Ensure networks access to Expedition is restricted to authorized users, hosts, or networks. You can check for an indicator of compromise with the following command on an Expedition system (replace "root" with your username if you are using a different username):     mysql -uroot -p -D pandb -e "SELECT * FROM cronjobs;" If you see any records returned, this indicates a potential compromise. Please note that if no records are returned, the system may still be compromised. This is only intended to indicate a potential compromise, rather than confirm a system has not been compromised.
