"The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is a vulnerable version of 10.2.x, 11.1.x, 11.2.x,
or 12.1.x. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

    Authentication bypass vulnerabilities in the GlobalProtect portal and gateway of Palo Alto Networks PAN-
    OS software allows the attacker to bypass security restrictions and establish an unauthorized VPN
    connection.

    Panorama and Cloud NGFW are not impacted by these issues.

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.");
