An XML parsing vulnerability exists in PAN-OS allowing a malicious user within PAN-OS to inject malicious XML data into the web-based device management front-end allowing the user to retrieve arbitrary content from the device. The user must be an authenticated user issuing the request. (Ref #71273)
This issue affects the management interface of the device, where an authenticated administrator injects malicious XML data into the web UI interface.
This issue affects PAN-OS 5.0.15 and earlier; PAN-OS 6.0.7 and earlier; PAN-OS 6.1.3 and earlier
| Versions | Affected | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|
| PAN-OS 6.1 | <= 6.1.3 | >= 6.1.4 |
| PAN-OS 6.0 | <= 6.0.7 | >= 6.0.8 |
| PAN-OS 5.0 | <= 5.0.15 | >= 5.0.16 |
CVSSv3.1 Base Score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
PAN-OS 5.0.16; PAN-OS 6.0.8; PAN-OS 6.1.4
This issue affects the management interface of the device. Security appliance management best practices dictate that the management interface be isolated and strictly limited only to security administration personnel.
