CVE-2026-0265: Authentication Bypass in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS

Overview On May 13, 2026, Palo Alto Networks published a security advisory for CVE-2026-0265 , a signature verification vulnerability that facilitates authentication bypass on PAN-OS , the operating system that most Palo Alto Networks firewalls run. This vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker with network access to bypass authentication when Cloud Authentication Service (CAS) is enabled and attached to a login interface; the vulnerable configuration is non-default but common. CVE-2026-0265 affects PAN-OS on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls, as well as Panorama (virtual and M-Series) appliances. Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not affected. Palo Alto Networks assigned CVE-2026-0265 a “High” 7.2 CVSS score. The advisory states that the vulnerability’s severity scoring depends on interface exposure; according to the vendor, risk is highest for unrestricted management interfaces equipped with CAS, while other login portals, such as GlobalProtect gateways, are lower risk. However, the researcher who reported the vulnerability, Harsh Jaiswal of HacktronAI , publicly disputed the vendor’s severity rating . Jaiswal stated on social media that the vulnerability advisory misrepresents the criticality of the bug and the affected components; according to the HacktronAI research team, they successfully exploited CVE-2026-0265 to bypass authentication controls on multiple corporations’ GlobalProtect portals and establish VPN access. Jaiswal stated that internet-facing components are affected , and HacktronAI plans to disclose full technical details the week of May 18. As of May 14, Palo Alto Networks has not confirmed exploitation in-the-wild of CVE-2026-0265, and there is no public proof-of-concept exploit available. However, given the researcher's statements about the practical exploitability of this vulnerability and the pending disclosure of technical details, this will likely evolve. PAN-OS software has been a frequent target for threat actors; on May 6, 2026, the PAN-OS vulnerability CVE-2026-0300 was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Patches for many affected version streams were published on May 13, and the remaining patches are expected on May 28, 2026. Mitigation guidance Organizations running PA-Series or VM-Series firewalls, or Panorama (virtual and M-Series) appliances, with Cloud Authentication Service (CAS) enabled should upgrade to a fixed version on an emergency basis. Patches are partially available, with many version stream fixes published on May 13 and additional version stream coverage expected on May 28. The following table outlines the affected and fixed versions: PAN-OS version Affected Fixed 12.1 12.1.4-h5 12.1.7 = 12.1.4-h5 = 12.1.7 (ETA: 05/28) 11.2 11.2.4-h17 11.2.7-h13 11.2.10-h6 11.2.12 = 11.2.4-h17 (ETA: 05/28) = 11.2.7-h13 = 11.2.10-h6 = 11.2.12 (ETA: 05/28) 11.1 11.1.4-h33 11.1.6-h32 11.1.7-h6 11.1.10-h25 11.1.13-h5 11.1.15 = 11.1.4-h33 = 11.1.6-h32 = 11.1.7-h6 (ETA: 05/28) = 11.1.
