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 in the management web interface ofPalo 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.

    The attacker must have network access to the management web interface to exploit this issue.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 critical 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.
