A newly disclosed command injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks’ PAN-OS operating system poses significant security risks to enterprise firewall infrastructures worldwide. The vulnerability, catalogued as CVE-2025-4230, enables authenticated administrators with command-line interface (CLI) access to execute arbitrary commands with root-level privileges, potentially compromising entire network security architectures. This flaw allows malicious actors to exploit insufficient input validation within the PAN-OS CLI interface, enabling them to bypass system restrictions and execute unauthorized commands with elevated privileges.
