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-h9 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.7-h24 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.6-h1 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.4-h4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 An authentication bypass in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to bypass the authentication otherwise required by the PAN-OS management web interface and invoke certain PHP scripts. While invoking these PHP scripts does not enable remote code execution, it can negatively impact integrity and confidentiality of PAN-OS.

 You can greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management web interface to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended best practices 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 does not affect Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access software.


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-h9 / 10.2.7-h24 / 11.1.6-h1 / 11.2.4-h4 or later
