The remote host is running Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS version 7.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified flaw in the LDAP authentication process. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication checks presented by the captive portal component or the device management interfaces.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 5.0.16 / 6.0.9 / 6.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site vulnerability in the management interface due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing an authenticated administrator to use a specially crafted request, resulting in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS equal to or prior to 5.0.15 / 6.0.8 / 6.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by a heap-based buffer overflow in the GNU C Library (glibc) due to improperly validating user-supplied input in the glibc functions __nss_hostname_digits_dots(), gethostbyname(), and gethostbyname2(). This allows a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

According to its version, the remote PAN-OS operating system is obsolete and is no longer maintained by Palo Alto Networks.

Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 5.0.15 / 5.1.10 / 6.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the web-based device management interface due to improper user input sanitization.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 5.0.15 / 5.1.10 / 6.0.6 / 6.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a command injection vulnerability in GNU Bash known as Shellshock, which is due to the processing of trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via environment variable manipulation depending on the configuration of the system.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 5.0.14 / 5.1.9 / 6.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the included OpenSSL library that can cause the client or server to use weak keying material, which a remote attacker can exploit to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 4.1.16 / 5.0.10 / 5.1.5. It is, therefore, affected by an API key bypass flaw which allows a remote attacker to bypass the XML API key for a session that has already been authorized.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 5.0.10 / 5.1.x prior to 5.1.5. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to a failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the web-based device management interface.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 5.x prior to 5.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a failure     to properly enforce RADIUS users' permissions. An     authenticated attacker can exploit this to modify shared     objects. (Ref# 55287)

  - A cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists due     to a failure to properly validate HTTP requests to     certain file upload forms, including     'import.certificate.php'.

  - Multiple HTML injection vulnerabilities exist due to a     failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'Name',     'Subject', and 'Issuer' fields in imported certificates.
    An attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary HTML     into the device's web interface.
    (Ref# 57343)

The remote host is running version 5.0.9 of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to an     inability to handle IP packets larger than 1480 bytes     through an Active/Active VWire setup. An attacker can     exploit this vulnerability to cause packet loss.
    (Ref# 56153)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw in     Zone Protection when SYN Cookie is enabled. An attacker     can exploit this vulnerability to evade IP spoofing     checks. (Ref# 57059)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw in     session management when using Global Protect pre-logon     mode. (Ref# 58539)

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 4.1.13 / 5.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to a failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the device management API browser.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 4.0.14 / 4.1.11 / 5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability due to a flaw in the App-ID cache function. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to run blocked applications.

The remote host is running a version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS prior to 3.1.12 / 4.0.10 / 4.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
