A blue gradient background. The Tenable Research Logo is at the top center of the image. Underneath it is a rectangular shaped box with the word "ADVISORY" in it. Underneath this box are the words "ZERO-DAY VULNERABILITIES EXPLOITED." This blog is about two zero-days in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS that were exploited in the wild.

Palo Alto Networks confirmed two zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited as part of attacks in the wild against PAN-OS devices, with one being attributed to Operation Lunar Peek.

Background

On November 18, Palo Alto Networks updated its advisory (PAN-SA-2024-0015) for a critical flaw in its PAN-OS software to include a CVE identifier:

CVEDescriptionCVSS
CVE-2024-0012PAN-OS Authentication Bypass Vulnerability9.3

In addition to CVE-2024-0012, Palo Alto Networks assigned a second CVE for a privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2024-9474).

CVEDescriptionCVSS
CVE-2024-9474PAN-OS Privilege Escalation Vulnerability6.9

Analysis

CVE-2024-0012 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the management web interface of PAN-OS devices. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain administrator privileges on the vulnerable PAN-OS device, enabling follow-on activity including modifying device configuration, accessing other administrative functions as well as exploiting other vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2024-9474.

CVE-2024-9474 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the web management interface of PAN-OS devices. An authenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges on the firewall.

While not explicitly referenced in its advisory, based on the description, it is believed that CVE-2024-0012 and CVE-2024-9474 may have been used as part of an exploit chain.

Attributed to Operation Lunar Peek

In a threat brief about the vulnerabilities, Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 have attributed the exploitation of CVE-2024-0012 to a campaign they call Operation Lunar Peek. As of November 18, no specific details have yet to be shared about Operation Lunar Peek or attribution to a specific threat actor or country of origin.

While Unit 42 did not explicitly connect CVE-2024-9474 to this operation, they reference this flaw as part of follow-on activity and have stated they’ve “observed threat activity that exploits this vulnerability against a limited number of management web interfaces.”

Initial advisory published on November 8

PAN-SA-2024-0015 was first published on November 8, following reports of a zero-day vulnerability affecting the management interfaces of PAN-OS devices. Reports indicate that someone was selling access to a zero-day in PAN-OS. It wasn’t until November 14 that Palo Alto Networks confirmed “threat activity” associated with this zero-day.

Proof of concept

At the time this blog post was published, there was no proof-of-concept (PoC) available for this vulnerability.

Solution

The following table contains a list of affected and fixed versions of PAN-OS:

ProductCVE-2024-0012CVE-2024-9474Fixed Version
PAN-OS 10.1Not Affected10.1.14-h4 and below10.1.14-h6 and above
PAN-OS 10.210.2.12-h1 and below10.2.12-h1 and below10.2.12-h2 and above
PAN-OS 11.011.0.5-h2 and below11.0.5-h2 and below11.0.6-h1 and above

PAN-OS 11.211.2.3-h3 and below11.2.3-h3 and below11.2.4-h1 and above
Cloud NGFWNot AffectedNot Affected-
Prsima AccessNot AffectedNot Affected-

Equally as important as applying patches, organizations that utilize PAN-OS devices should secure the management web interface to prevent external access, opting instead to limit access to trusted internal IP addresses.
