A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is CVE-2024-9465 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. CVE-2024-9465 (Palo Alto Networks Expedition SQL Injection Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2024-11-14. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2024-12-05. The required action was: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-9465?

CVE-2024-9465 is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2024-9465?

CVE-2024-9465 affects paloaltonetworks expedition. Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2024-9465?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2024-9465, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2024-9465 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-9465 was published on October 9, 2024 and was last updated on November 4, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
