Last modified
CVE-2025-0111 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An authenticated file read vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to read files on the PAN-OS filesystem that are readable by the “nobody” user. You can 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 best practices 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 does not affect Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access software.. CISA has confirmed active exploitation in the wild. EPSS estimates a 1.86% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
