What it is

Palo Alto Networks Expedition contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to reveal Expedition database contents, such as password hashes, usernames, device configurations, and device API keys. With this, attackers can also create and read arbitrary files on the Expedition system.

Forensic triage

What to do now

Find every instance of Expedition you run, including the forgotten ones, and check its version against the vendor advisory.
Apply the vendor's fix or mitigation, before December 5, 2024 if you are bound by CISA's deadline, sooner if it faces the internet.
Assume it was tried against you already: look for signs of exploitation from the date it was added, not from the day you patched.
Until every instance is patched, block the attack at the edge: a WAF in blocking mode stops SQL injection attempts.
