About Elevation of Privilege – PAN-OS (CVE-2024-9474) vulnerability. An attacker with PAN-OS administrator access to the management web interface can perform actions on the Palo Alto device with root privileges. Linux commands can be injected via unvalidated input in script.

The need for authentication and admin access could limit this vulnerability’s impact, but here we have the previous vulnerability Authentication Bypass – PAN-OS (CVE-2024-0012). 😏 Exploitation of this vulnerability chain was noted by Palo Alto on November 17. After November 19, when the watchTowr Labs article was published and exploits appeared, mass attacks began.

On November 21, Shadowserver reported that ~2000 hosts were compromised, mostly in the US and India. According to Wiz, attackers deployed web shells, Sliver implants and cryptominers.
