Overview

What is CVE-2026-0286?

A command injection vulnerability in the management plane of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary OS commands as root.

The security risk posed by this issue is significantly minimized when CLI access is restricted to a limited group of administrators.

This issue is applicable to PAN-OS software on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual and M-Series).

Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access® are not impacted by this vulnerability.
