CVE-2024-5920 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.6/10 on the CVSS scale. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated read-write Panorama administrator to push a specially crafted configuration to a PAN-OS node. This enables impersonation of a legitimate PAN-OS administrator who can perform restricted actions on the PAN-OS node after the execution of JavaScript in the legitimate PAN-OS administrator's browser.. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
