CVE-2024-9471 Information

Description

A privilege escalation (PE) vulnerability in the XML API of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated PAN-OS administrator with restricted privileges to use a compromised XML API key to perform actions as a higher privileged PAN-OS administrator. For example an administrator with \Virtual system administrator (read-only)\ access could use an XML API key of a \Virtual system administrator\ to perform write operations on the virtual system configuration even though they should be limited to read-only operations.
