Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected by an open redirection vulnerability.

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 7.1.x prior to 7.1.26 or 8.0.x prior to 8.0.14.
It is, therefore, affected by an open redirection vulnerability.

- An open redirection vulnerability in the GlobalProtect component of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS allows an attacker to specify an arbitrary redirection target away from the trusted GlobalProtect gateway. If the user then successfully authenticates it will cause them to access an unexpected and potentially malicious website. This issue affects: PAN-OS 7.1 versions earlier than 7.1.26;
PAN-OS 8.0 versions earlier than 8.0.14. (CVE-2020-1997)

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 7.1.26 / 8.0.14 or later.
