Yes. CVE-2024-9465, Palo Alto Networks Expedition SQL Injection Vulnerability, is being exploited in the wild. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 14 Nov 2024, 36 days after it was published. It affects Palo Alto Networks Expedition, an internet-facing product of the kind attackers use for initial access. If you run it, CISA's required action is: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
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.

Yes. CISA added CVE-2024-9465 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 14 Nov 2024, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild.
CISA does not list known ransomware use for it. That can change, and exploitation alone is reason to fix it first.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Check Palo Alto Networks's advisory for the fixed versions, and if you can't patch quickly, restrict access to the affected Expedition and watch it for signs of compromise.
