Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A missing exception check in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software with the web proxy feature enabled allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a burst of maliciously crafted packets that causes the firewall to become unresponsive and eventually reboot. Repeated successful attempts to trigger this condition will cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode. This issue does not affect Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS where a missing exception check in the web proxy component allows unauthenticated attackers to send specially crafted packets. When the web proxy feature is enabled, these malicious packets cause the firewall to become unresponsive, reboot, and eventually enter maintenance mode with repeated attacks.

MitigationOrganizations should disable the web proxy feature in PAN-OS if not required, or apply vendor patches when available. Until fixed, consider network-level mitigations to restrict unauthorized access to the firewall's web proxy interface.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check PAN-OS version
    Log into the firewall CLI and run 'show system info' or use the web interface under Device > Setup > Operations to view the PAN-OS version.
    Affected if The installed version is 11.1.0 through 11.1.5, 11.1.7, or 11.2.0 through 11.2.4.
  2. Verify if web proxy feature is enabled
    In the PAN-OS web interface, go to Network > Web Proxy to check if the web proxy is configured and enabled. Alternatively, use the CLI command 'show running web-proxy' or check under Network > Profiles > Web Proxy in the management interface.
    Affected if The web proxy feature is turned on or configured, regardless of whether it is actively proxying traffic.
  3. Confirm web proxy is accessible
    Check if the firewall's web proxy interface is reachable from untrusted networks. Review the interface bindings under Network > Web Proxy to see which interfaces have web proxy enabled.
    Affected if The web proxy is bound to any interface that is accessible from outside trusted networks.

You are affected if your PAN-OS version falls within 11.1.0-11.1.5, 11.1.7, or 11.2.0-11.2.4 AND the web proxy feature is enabled on an accessible interface.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 11.1.6 / 11.2.5 or later
Fixed in 11.1.611.2.5
Interim mitigation

Organizations should disable the web proxy feature in PAN-OS if not required, or apply vendor patches when available. Until fixed, consider network-level mitigations to restrict unauthorized access to the firewall's web proxy interface.

Recommended fix High confidence

PAN-OS 11.1.6 or later, or PAN-OS 11.2.5 or later

  1. 1. Navigate to the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal at https://support.paloaltonetworks.com/
  2. 2. Download the fixed PAN-OS version 11.1.6 or later for your hardware model
  3. 3. Alternatively, download PAN-OS version 11.2.5 or later if migrating to the 11.2 branch
  4. 4. Upload the PAN-OS upgrade image to the firewall via Panorama or directly to the device
  5. 5. Before upgrading, review the PAN-OS Upgrade Guide for pre-upgrade checks and compatibility requirements
  6. 6. Schedule a maintenance window as the upgrade will require a firewall reboot
  7. 7. Perform the upgrade and verify the firewall comes back up properly
  8. 8. Confirm the web proxy feature is functioning correctly after upgrade
Caveat Review PAN-OS Upgrade Guide for potential compatibility issues with existing features and ensure backup configurations are saved before proceeding
