The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 7.1.x prior to 8.1.13 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.7.
It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability in the authd component of the PAN-OS management server.
An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
