What is CVE-2026-0229?

The PAN-OS software by Palo Alto Networks contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in its Advanced DNS Security (ADNS) feature. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted packets that trigger unauthorized system reboots. If this is done repeatedly, it may cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode, disrupting service availability. It’s crucial for users to apply the necessary security updates to protect their systems from potential attacks, as Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access services remain unaffected.

Affected Version(s)

PAN-OS 12.1.0 < 12.1.4

PAN-OS 11.2.0 < 11.2.10

Cloud NGFW All
