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 10.1.x prior to 10.1.14 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.11 or 11.0.x prior to 11.0.6 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated read-write Panorama administrator to push a specially crafted configuration to a PAN-OS node. This enables impersonation of a legitimate PAN-OS administrator who can perform restricted actions on the PAN-OS node after the execution of JavaScript in the legitimate PAN-OS administrator's browser.

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 10.1.14 / 10.2.11 / 11.0.6 / 11.1.4 or later
