CVE-2025-2182

A problem with the implementation of the MACsec protocol in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® results in the cleartext exposure of the connectivity association key (CAK). This issue is only applicable to PA-7500 Series devices which are in an NGFW cluster. A user who possesses this key can read messages being sent between devices in a NGFW Cluster. There is no impact in non-clustered firewalls or clusters of firewalls that do not enable MACsec.

Summary		(es) Un problema con la implementación del protocolo MACsec en PAN-OS® de Palo Alto Networks provoca la exposición en texto plano de la clave de asociación de conectividad (CAK). Este problema solo afecta a los dispositivos de la serie PA-7500 que forman parte de un clúster NGFW. Un usuario con esta clave puede leer los mensajes que se envían entre dispositivos de un clúster NGFW. Esto no afecta a los firewalls no agrupados en clúster ni a los clústeres de firewalls que no habilitan MACsec.
