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 11.1.x prior to 11.1.14, 11.2.x prior to 11.2.11, or 12.1.x prior to 12.1.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables a malicious authenticated administrator to store a JavaScript payload using the web interface.

 This issue is applicable to PAN-OS software on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual and M-Series).

 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 11.1.14 / 11.2.11 / 12.1.5 or later
