Checkov By Prisma Cloud
Monthly
Server-side request forgery in Palo Alto Networks Checkov by Prisma Cloud before version 3.2.533 allows a local unauthenticated attacker to induce the tool to make unauthorized network requests from the host to internal services. The attacker must influence Infrastructure-as-Code content parsed by Checkov, and a victim must run a scan on a host with network reachability to the target services; it is not remotely triggerable. No public exploit code has been identified, and the impact is limited to low-severity SSRF without confidentiality or integrity impact on the Checkov host itself, though other systems may experience low confidentiality impact. A vendor patch is available in version 3.2.533.
Path traversal in Prisma Cloud Checkov enables an unauthenticated local attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on the scanning filesystem by persuading a victim to scan attacker-controlled or untrusted infrastructure-as-code content. Exploitation requires user interaction (the victim running Checkov on malicious IaC), and the flaw is not remotely exploitable; impact is limited to file writes on the host performing the scan. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported (CISA KEV does not list this CVE), and the practical risk is low, especially for environments that scan only trusted, internally-authored IaC.
OS command injection in Palo Alto Networks Checkov by Prisma Cloud allows a local low-privileged user to execute arbitrary commands within the Checkov scanning process. Because Checkov is routinely deployed inside CI/CD pipelines holding cloud credentials and infrastructure deployment permissions, successful exploitation can propagate beyond the scanning host to affect subsequent systems at high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit has been identified and Palo Alto Networks' own environmental scoring (1.1) reflects both the local-only attack vector and currently unreported exploitation activity.
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. The most consequential attack surface is CI/CD pipelines, where Checkov runs automated scans with access to cloud credentials and secrets, making successful exploitation a pathway to subsequent-system compromise even though the primary vulnerable-system impact is limited. No public exploit code has been identified and Palo Alto rates exploit maturity as unreported (E:U).
