CVE-2025-0124

PAN-OS: Authenticated File Deletion Vulnerability on the Management Web Interface

Description

An authenticated file deletion vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to delete certain files as the “nobody” user; this includes limited logs and configuration files but does not include system files. The attacker must have network access to the management web interface to exploit this issue. You greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management web interface to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended critical deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 . This issue affects Cloud NGFW. However, this issue does not affect Prisma® Access software.

Remediation

Solution:

  • Version Minor Version Suggested Solution PAN-OS 11.2 11.2.0 Upgrade to 11.2.1 or laterPAN-OS 11.111.1.0 through 11.1.4Upgrade to 11.1.5 or laterPAN-OS 11.011.0.0 through 11.0.5Upgrade to 11.0.6 or laterPAN-OS 10.210.2.0 through 10.2.9Upgrade to 10.2.10 or laterPAN-OS 10.110.1.0 through 10.1.14Upgrade to 10.1.14-h11 or laterAll other older unsupported PAN-OS versions  Upgrade to a supported fixed version PAN-OS 11.0 has reached EoL. We listed it here for completeness because a patch for PAN-OS 11.0 was released before it reached EoL. If you are still using any vulnerable EoL versions, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to a supported fixed PAN-OS version.

Workaround:

  • Recommended mitigation—The vast majority of firewalls already follow Palo Alto Networks and industry best practices. However, if you have not already, we strongly recommend that you secure access to your management interface according to our https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 * Palo Alto Networks official and detailed technical documentation: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/10-1/administrative-access-best-practices/administrative-access-best-practices/deploy-administrative-access-best-practices
