Multiple Vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Network’s Expedition Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Read Time:27 Second

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Network’s Expedition have been discovered, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution on Palo Alto Firewalls. Palo Alto Network’s Expedition is a migration tool designed to help organizations move configurations from other firewall platforms to Palo Alto’s PAN-OS. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the root user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data.
