Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 7.1.x < 7.1.26 / 8.0.x < 8.1.13 OS Command Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 137899

Language:

Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected an OS command injection 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 8.1.13.
It is, therefore, affected by an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the PAN-OS web management interface. A remote, authenticated attacker can exploit this issue, to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges by sending a malicious request to generate new certificates for use in the PAN-OS configuration.

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 / 8.1.13 or later
