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 11.1.5 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 An improper input neutralization vulnerability in the management web interface of the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables a malicious authenticated read-write administrator to impersonate another legitimate authenticated PAN-OS administrator.


 The attacker must have network access to the management web interface to exploit this issue. You 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 and all Prisma Access instances.


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 / 11.1.5 / 11.2.5 or later
