Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected by a command injection vulnerability

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.10, 9.1.x prior to 9.1.4, or 10.0.x prior to 10.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges.

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 9.0.10 / 9.1.4 / 10.0.1 or later
