# paloaltonetworks expedition: Missing authentication for a critical function in Palo Alto Networks Expedition can lead to an Expedition admin…

Palo Alto Networks Expedition, a migration tool for firewall configurations, has a missing authentication flaw that lets a network attacker take over an Expedition admin account. The attacker can then reach configuration secrets, credentials and other stored data.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:Palo Alto Networks Expedition affected ? fixed ?
- vendor:paloaltonetworks expedition affected >= 1.2.0, < 1.2.92 fixed 1.2.92

## How to check

Identify any Expedition instances on the network and confirm their version against the vendor advisory; the sources do not give a version or command.

## Fix

Apply the vendor mitigations per Palo Alto Networks' instructions, or discontinue use of Expedition if mitigations are unavailable (per CISA required action).

- 2026-10-23T22:29:05+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-5910

## From the sources

Missing authentication for a critical function in Palo Alto Networks Expedition can lead to an Expedition admin account takeover for attackers with network access to Expedition.

Note: Expedition is a tool aiding in configuration migration, tuning, and enrichment. Configuration secrets, credentials, and other data imported into Expedition is at risk due to this issue.
