PAN-SA-2025-0001 Expedition: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Expedition Migration Tool Lead to Exposure of Firewall Credentials
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities in the Palo Alto Networks Expedition migration tool enable an attacker to read Expedition database contents and arbitrary files, as well as create and delete arbitrary files on the Expedition system. These files include information such as usernames, cleartext passwords, device configurations, and device API keys for firewalls running PAN-OS software.
Expedition, previously known as the Migration Tool, is a free tool that facilitates migration to the Palo Alto Networks NGFW platform from other firewall vendors and provides a temporary workspace for optimizing Palo Alto Networks security policies. Expedition is designed to only be used temporarily for migration purposes, not to be run in production. You do not need it to operate any Palo Alto Networks products or services. Expedition reached its End of Life (EoL) date on December 31, 2024. Please use the suggested alternatives listed in the Expedition End of Life Announcement.
These issues do not otherwise impact firewalls, Panorama appliances, Prisma Access deployments, or Cloud NGFWs.
| CVE | CVSS | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-0103 | 7.8 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N/E:U) | An SQL injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition enables an authenticated attacker to reveal Expedition database contents, such as password hashes, usernames, device configurations, and device API keys. This vulnerability also enables attackers to create and read arbitrary files on the Expedition system. |
| CVE-2025-0104 | 4.7 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U) | A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition enables attackers to execute malicious JavaScript code in the context of an authenticated Expedition user’s browser if that authenticated user clicks a malicious link that allows phishing attacks and could lead to Expedition browser-session theft. |
| CVE-2025-0105 | 2.7 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U) | An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition enables an unauthenticated attacker to delete arbitrary files accessible to the www-data user on the host filesystem. |
| CVE-2025-0106 | 2.7 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U) | A wildcard expansion vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition allows an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate files on the host filesystem. |
| CVE-2025-0107 | 2.3 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N/E:U) | An OS command injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition enables an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary OS commands as the www-data user in Expedition, which results in the disclosure of usernames, cleartext passwords, device configurations, and device API keys for firewalls running PAN-OS software. |
