Discovery of CVE-2025-0108 came from post-patch analysis of CVE-2024-9474, a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.9/10) that was actively exploited in November. At that time, attackers were seen chaining CVE-2024-9474 with another critical authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2024-0012) affecting PAN-OS, and together they allowed executing codes remotely on compromised systems.

Now threat actors are chaining CVE-2025-0108, and CVE-2024-9474 with a high-severity flaw (CVE-2025-0111) for unauthorized root-level access to vulnerable systems, potentially allowing extraction of sensitive configuration data and user credentials.

All three vulnerabilities affect PAN-OS versions 10.1, 10.2, 11.1, and 11.2, and have received patches respectively. Palo Alto Networks confirmed that its Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access services are not impacted.
