CVE-2026-0288 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability affecting the User-ID Terminal Server Agent (TSA) component in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS. The issue is described as multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including an out-of-bounds write condition, in code that processes network traffic destined for the TSA service. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the exposed TSA IP and port can send specially crafted traffic to trigger memory corruption. Successful exploitation can crash the affected service or device and may potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability affects PAN-OS deployments only when at least one Terminal Server Agent entry is configured. Panorama is not affected, and Cloud NGFW on AWS is also reported as not affected.
