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-h11 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-h17 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated admin on the PAN-OS CLI to read arbitrary files.

 The attacker must have network access to the management interface (web, SSH, console, or telnet) and successfully authenticate to exploit this issue. You can greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted users and 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.

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-h11 / 10.2.11 / 11.0.6 / 11.1.4-h17 / 11.2.3 or later
