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 8.1.x prior to 8.1.25 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.17 or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.16 or 10.0.x prior to 10.0.12 or 10.1.x prior to 10.1.9 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.4 or 11.0.x prior to 11.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 An information exposure vulnerability exists in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software that enables a GlobalProtect end user to learn both the configured GlobalProtect uninstall password and the configured disable or disconnect passcode. After the password or passcode is known, end users can uninstall, disable, or disconnect GlobalProtect even if the GlobalProtect app configuration would not normally permit them to do so.

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 8.1.25 / 9.0.17 / 9.1.16 / 10.0.12 / 10.1.9 / 10.2.4 / 11.0.1 or later
