high Nessus Plugin ID 269728

Language:

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 10.2.x prior to 10.2.17, 11.1.x prior to 11.1.11, or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 An improper input neutralization vulnerability in the management web interface of the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated administrator to bypass system restrictions and execute arbitrary commands.

 The security risk posed by this issue is significantly minimized when CLI access is restricted to a limited group of administrators.

 Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not affected by this vulnerability.



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the PAN-OS security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade to PAN-OS 10.2.17 / 11.1.11 / 11.2.8 or later
