# CVE-2024-9465: Palo Alto Networks Expedition SQL Injection Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Palo Alto Networks Expedition. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-11-14, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-12-05 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 99.6% , percentile 99.9: FIRST’s model estimates a 99.6% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.9% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.

## What it is

An SQL injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition allows an unauthenticated attacker to reveal Expedition database contents, such as password hashes, usernames, device configurations, and device API keys. With this, attackers can also create and read arbitrary files on the Expedition system.
