"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,
12.1.x, or 12.2.x. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

    A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the management interface of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS
    software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code with root
    privileges on the firewall.

    The security risk posed by this issue is minimized by restricting access to the management interface to
    only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommendedbest practice 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 is applicable to PAN-OS software on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual
    and M-Series).

    Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.

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.");
