medium Nessus Plugin ID 122822

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PAN-OS GlobalProtect login page.

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is prior to 6.1, 7.x prior to 7.1, 8.1.x prior to 8.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that exists in PAN-OS GlobalProtect portal login page due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2018-10141)
