- Exploitation
- CISA lists CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 as exploited in the wild.
CERT-FR has issued an advisory detailing multiple vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS that allow an attacker to achieve remote arbitrary code execution. The advisory covers a wide range of affected PAN-OS branches, including versions 10.2.x, 11.1.x, 11.2.x, 12.1.x and 12.2.x prior to specific hotfix levels. Palo Alto Networks has confirmed that two of the associated CVEs, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, are being actively exploited in the wild, while a third, CVE-2026-115560, is also referenced without confirmed exploitation status.
This advisory follows a prior CERT-FR alert (CERTFR-2026-ALE-014) issued on 21 October 2026, indicating the exploitation activity was already under heightened monitoring before this bulletin. Defenders running PAN-OS should prioritize patching to the listed fixed hotfix versions immediately given confirmed in-the-wild exploitation, and monitor firewall/management interfaces for signs of compromise. Some patches remain pending release for a subset of older branches (12.1.4-h13, 12.1.10-h3, 11.2.4-h23, 11.1.7-h12, 10.2.7-h39, 10.2.10-h42), requiring interim mitigations per vendor guidance until official fixes are published.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
