An improper authorization vulnerability in PAN-OS that mistakenly uses the permissions of local linux users instead of the intended SAML permissions of the account when the username is shared for the purposes of SSO authentication. This can result in authentication bypass and unintended resource access for the user.

Work around:
The impact of this vulnerability can be mitigated by removing shared usernames between local linux users and SAML enabled users.
