Critical CVSS 9.9
CVE-2026-0284
An XML injection vulnerability in the Large Scale VPN (LSVPN) functionality of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an unauthenticated attacker with network access to inject malicious XML content, potentially leading to information disclosure or corruption of internal LSVPN satellite data. Panorama, Cloud NGFW, and Prisma® Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, alter some data and degrade the service. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- Unneutralised input is placed into a command that another component then interprets.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
