Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the User-ID Terminal Server Agent (TSA) component of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic.
The security risk posed by this issue is minimized when the User-ID Terminal Server Agent connectivity is restricted to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended best practice deployment guidelines https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/ngfw/help/10-2/user-identification/device-user-identification-terminal-services-agents#:~:text=To%20minimize%20security%20risk%2C%20restrict%20TS%20Agent%20connectivity%20to%20trusted%20internal%20IP%20addresses%20only. .
Panorama is not impacted by this vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
Memory corruption in the User-ID Terminal Server Agent (TSA) of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS lets an unauthenticated network attacker crash the service (DoS) or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending crafted traffic to the TSA listener. Multiple out-of-bounds write bugs are involved; the vendor's CVSS 4.0 vector flags the exploit as unproven (E:U), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires network reachability to the User-ID Terminal Server Agent (TSA) listening service; the exploit is limited to environments where the optional TSA component is actually deployed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed and point to elevated-but-not-emergency priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the TSA network listener - for example a malicious insider or a foothold on the internal segment where Terminal Server hosts live - sends specially crafted packets to the agent, overflowing a parsing buffer to crash the service and break user-ID mapping (DoS), or, under the right conditions, to corrupt memory toward code execution on the host. No credentials or user interaction are required, but the AT:P and E:U metrics indicate specific conditions must align and no proven exploit is publicly available. |
| Remediation | Apply the fixed PAN-OS / TS Agent release identified in the Palo Alto Networks advisory at https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2026-0288 (the exact patched version is not present in the provided data and should be confirmed from that advisory before scheduling). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all PAN-OS instances with TSA enabled and confirm network reachability from untrusted sources. …
