"The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 7.1.x prior to 7.1.26 or 8.0.x prior to 8.1.13 or
8.1.x prior to 8.1.13 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

  - A race condition due to insecure creation of a file in a
    temporary directory vulnerability in PAN-OS allows for
    root privilege escalation from a limited linux user
    account. This allows an attacker who has escaped the
    restricted shell as a low privilege administrator,
    possibly by exploiting another vulnerability, to
    escalate privileges to become root user. (CVE-2020-2016)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
