CVE-2025-0133: PAN-OS GlobalProtect Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

Reflected XSS in PAN-OS GlobalProtect gateway and portal features can execute JavaScript in the browser of an authenticated Captive Portal user.

Overview

The GlobalProtect gateway and portal in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS reflect part of the request URL into the page without encoding it. The flaw applies only to firewalls with a GlobalProtect gateway or portal enabled.

An attacker sends an authenticated Captive Portal user a crafted link, and JavaScript runs in that user's browser against the portal origin. Palo Alto says the integrity impact is limited to phishing and credential theft pages that appear to be hosted on the portal, with confidentiality exposure only where Clientless VPN is enabled. Fixes shipped in PAN-OS 11.2.7, 11.1.11 and 10.2.17.
