CVE-2024-9464 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition versions earlier than 1.2.96. A low-privileged authenticated attacker can inject and execute arbitrary operating-system commands in the Expedition environment with root privileges. The vulnerability can expose data managed by Expedition, including usernames, cleartext passwords, PAN-OS firewall configurations, and firewall API keys.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-9464, targeting Palo Alto Networks Expedition. The exploit script (CVE-2024-9464.py) automates a multi-step attack chain: it first resets the admin password using a known vulnerability (CVE-2024-5910), then authenticates as admin, and abuses the cronjob management functionality to inject arbitrary shell commands. The script sets up a local HTTP server to serve a payload file, which the target system downloads and executes, achieving remote code execution. The exploit requires the attacker to specify the target URL, a command file to be fetched and executed, and optionally the local IP and port for the HTTP server. The README provides usage instructions and context. The main endpoints targeted are /OS/startup/restore/restoreAdmin.php, /bin/Auth.php, and /bin/CronJobs.php on the Expedition web interface. The exploit is operational and demonstrates a real-world attack chain leading to full system compromise.
