PAN-SA-2016-0010 Update Server API Exposure
Description
The Palo Alto Networks update server enables downloading of PAN-OS software releases and dynamic updates through a public API. Some functions of the API were inadvertently exposed to the public.
API functions publicly available and exclusively used by internal workflow allowed for remote call. This did not affect Palo Alto Networks customers’ security posture, but some Palo Alto Networks update server data could be accessed.
