Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 8.1.x prior to 8.1.21 or 9.0.x prior to 9.1.11 or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.11 or 10.0.x prior to 10.0.7. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

(CVE-2022-0022)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
