Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 10.2.x prior to 10.2.12-h2 or 11.0.x prior to 11.0.6-h1 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.5-h1 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.4-h1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 An authentication bypass in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to gain PAN-OS administrator privileges to perform administrative actions, tamper with the configuration, or exploit other authenticated privilege escalation vulnerabilities like [CVE-2024-9474](https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-9474).

 The risk of this issue is greatly reduced if you secure access to the management web interface by restricting access to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended[best practice deployment guidelines](https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure- the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431).

 This issue is applicable only to PAN-OS 10.2, PAN-OS 11.0, PAN-OS 11.1, and PAN-OS 11.2 software on PA- Series, VM-Series, and CN-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual and M-Series).

 Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the PAN-OS security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to PAN-OS 10.2.12-h2 / 11.0.6-h1 / 11.1.5-h1 / 11.2.4-h1 or later
