Today, Palo Alto Networks warns that an unpatched critical command injection vulnerability in its PAN-OS firewall is being actively exploited in attacks.
"Palo Alto Networks is aware of a limited number of attacks that leverage the exploitation of this vulnerability," warns the Palo Alto security bulletin.
"A command injection vulnerability in the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software for specific PAN-OS versions and distinct feature configurations may enable an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall," explains the Palo Alto Networks advisory.
BleepingComputer contacted Volexity and Palo Alto Networks with questions on how the zero-day is being exploited.
Palo Alto Networks devices often become targets of sophisticated threat actors due to their deployment in corporate networks.
