PAN-OS: File Upload Vulnerability in the Panorama Web Interface

An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Panorama software enables an authenticated read-write administrator with access to the web interface to disrupt system processes and crash the Panorama. Repeated attacks eventually cause the Panorama to enter maintenance mode, which requires manual intervention to bring the Panorama back online.

Work around:
This issue requires the attacker to have authenticated access to the PAN-OS web interface. You can mitigate the impact of this issue by following the Best Practices for Securing Administrative Access in the PAN-OS technical documentation at https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices.
