Palo Alto Networks released a security advisory about vulnerabilities in its Expedition migration tool that could expose sensitive data and enable unauthorized actions on affected systems.
Expedition, formerly the Migration Tool, is a free tool that helps users migrate to the Palo Alto Networks NGFW platform and provides a temporary workspace to optimize security policies.

These vulnerabilities pose serious risks for organizations using the tool for firewall migration and optimization. It is meant for temporary use only during migrations and not for production environments. The tool will reach its End of Life (EoL) on December 31, 2024.
Details Of The Vulnerabilities:
CVE-2025-0103 (CVSS 7.8): An SQL injection vulnerability lets authenticated attackers access Expedition’s database, exposing sensitive information such as password hashes and device configurations. It also allows them to create or read arbitrary files on the system.
CVE-2025-0104 (CVSS 4.7): A vulnerability that allows attackers to run harmful scripts in a user’s browser, which can lead to stealing information or hijacking sessions.
CVE-2025-0105 (CVSS 2.7): Allows unauthorized users to delete files accessible to the Expedition system’s “www-data” user.
CVE-2025-0106 (CVSS 2.7): A vulnerability allows attackers to list files on the system without needing to log in.
CVE-2025-0107 (CVSS 2.3): This vulnerability allows logged-in attackers to run any OS commands as the “www-data” user, potentially exposing sensitive firewall credentials.
These vulnerabilities don’t directly impact Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Panorama, Prisma Access, or Cloud NGFWs, but they severely weaken the security of systems using vulnerable Expedition versions.
Palo Alto Networks has released patches in Expedition version 1.2.101 and later. Organizations should upgrade immediately and change all credentials used with the tool.
Limiting network access to authorized users and disabling unused Expedition instances are essential to reduce risks.
Although there is currently no evidence of active exploitation, the existence of proof-of-concept exploits for similar vulnerabilities heightens concerns about possible future attacks. Organizations using Expedition must act quickly to protect their systems from unauthorized access.
Since Expedition has reached its end of life, users should switch to alternative tools recommended by Palo Alto Networks for firewall migration and policy optimization.
The discovery highlights the need to secure temporary tools like Expedition that manage sensitive data during important tasks, such as firewall migrations.
