CVE-2026-0288 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS in the User-ID Terminal Server Agent (TSA) component. The issue consists of multiple buffer overflow conditions that can be triggered by specially crafted network traffic sent to the TSA service. Successful exploitation can corrupt memory in the vulnerable component, leading to a denial-of-service condition and potentially arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is remotely reachable over the network, does not require authentication or user interaction, and affects PAN-OS devices only when at least one Terminal Server Agent entry is configured. Panorama is not affected, and Cloud NGFW on AWS is also reported as not affected.
