"The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.1.14-h9 or 10.2.x prior to
10.2.7-h24 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.6-h1 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.4-h4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

    An authenticated file read vulnerability in the management web interface of the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS
    software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to read
    files on the PAN-OS filesystem that are readable by the nobody user.

    The attacker must have network access to the management web interface to exploit this issue. You can
    greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management web interface to only
    trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended critical deployment guidelines
    (https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-
    of-your-palo/ba-p/464431).



    This issue does not affect Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access software.

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.");
