The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.1.14-h13 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.15 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.8 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

    A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables unlicensed administrators to view     clear-text data captured using the packet capture feature (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-     os/11-0/pan-os-admin/monitoring/take-packet-captures/take-a-custom-packet-capture) in decrypted HTTP/2     data streams traversing network interfaces on the firewall. HTTP/1.1 data streams are not impacted.

    In normal conditions, decrypted packet captures are available to firewall administrators after they obtain     and install a free Decryption Port Mirror license. The license requirement ensures that this feature can     only be used after approved personnel purposefully activate the license. For more information, review how     to configure decryption port mirroring (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/network-     security/decryption/administration/monitoring-decryption/configure-decryption-port-mirroring).

    The administrator must obtain network access to the management interface (web, SSH, console, or telnet)     and successfully authenticate to exploit this issue. Risk of this issue can be greatly reduced by     restricting access to the management interface to only trusted administrators and from only internal IP     addresses according to our recommended critical deployment guidelines     (https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-     of-your-palo/ba-p/464431).

    Customer firewall administrators do not have access to the packet capture feature in Cloud NGFW. This     feature is available only to authorized Palo Alto Networks personnel permitted to perform troubleshooting.

    Prisma Access is not impacted by this vulnerability.
