high Nessus Plugin ID 314973

Synopsis

A ZTNA/SASE client installed on the remote host is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent installed on the remote host is 25.x or 26.x prior to 26.2.1.
It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability:

 - Multiple authorization bypass vulnerabilities in the Endpoint DLP component allow a local attacker to bypass authentication controls and execute privileged operations. (CVE-2026-0247)

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 Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent version 26.2.1 or later.
