Assessment
Why it matters
EPSS is 0.2%; technical severity is CVSS 4.7.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated administrator with network access to the management web interface to make unauthorized requests from the firewall to internal services. The security risk posed by this issue is minimized when the management interface is restricted to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended best practice deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 . Panorama, Cloud NGFW, and Prisma® Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.
Who should care
- Teams operating Pan-os
- Vulnerability and exposure management teams
- Security operations teams monitoring exploitation activity
Response plan
What I would do
- Confirm whether Pan-os is present in the environment.
- Identify affected versions and establish whether vulnerable services are exposed or reachable.
- Palo Alto Networks Security advisory CVE-2026-0285
- Review relevant security telemetry for evidence of attempted or successful exploitation.
- Document the remediation decision and track it to verified completion.
