A code execution vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Checkov by Prisma® Cloud can allow arbitrary code execution when Checkov scans a directory that contains an attacker-controlled configuration file.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in Palo Alto Networks Checkov - the Prisma Cloud IaC static-analysis scanner - triggers when the tool scans a directory containing an attacker-crafted configuration file. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-829 (Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere): Checkov loads and evaluates IaC configuration files without sufficient isolation, allowing embedded attacker-controlled logic to execute in the scanner's runtime context. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a Checkov scan be executed against a directory that contains at least one attacker-controlled IaC configuration file (e.g., Terraform .tf, Kubernetes YAML, CloudFormation template, Dockerfile). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.4 appears to incorporate threat metrics (E:U - no known exploits) and supplemental factors (AU:N - not automatable) that substantially deflate the number; the underlying base vector metrics, particularly SC:H/SI:H/SA:H, represent a critical-severity impact on CI/CD pipeline systems. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult the Palo Alto Networks security advisory at https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2026-0303 for the official patch or fixed version - no specific remediation version was provided in the available data, so 'Patch available per vendor advisory' is the most that can be confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
