The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 9.1.x prior to 9.1.17 or 10.1.x prior to 10.1.11.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.
A vulnerability in the GlobalProtect portal in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables a malicious authenticated GlobalProtect user to impersonate another GlobalProtect user. Active GlobalProtect users impersonated by an attacker who is exploiting this vulnerability are disconnected from GlobalProtect. Upon exploitation, PAN-OS logs indicate that the impersonated user authenticated to GlobalProtect, which hides the identity of the attacker.
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.
