Hi All,
Does anyone know if CVE-2025-61984 for OpenSSH applies to PANOS. I think it would not but could not find any knowledgebase article or community discussion related to this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello @S.Chougule552919
According to PANW information:
"CVE-2025-61984 PAN-OS is not affected as PAN-OS does not use the ProxyCommand option in the SSH client configuration."
Reference: PAN-SA-2025-0006 Informational Bulletin: Impact of OSS CVEs in PAN-OS

Hi @S.Chougule552919 ,
PAN-OS is not affected by CVE-2025-61984. Palo Alto Networks has an informational advisory for OSS CVEs in PAN-OS, and this CVE is listed there as not applicable because PAN-OS does not use the ProxyCommand option in the SSH client configuration.
You can reference the PANW Security Advisory here: PAN-SA-2025-0006 and search the page for additional CVEs and which products are affected.
