Missing XML validation vulnerability in the PAN-OS web interface on Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary XML that results in privilege escalation. This issue affects PAN-OS 8.1 versions earlier than PAN-OS 8.1.12 and PAN-OS 9.0 versions earlier than PAN-OS 9.0.6. This issue does not affect PAN-OS 7.1, PAN-OS 8.0, or PAN-OS 9.1 or later versions.

Improper restriction of communications to Log Forwarding Card (LFC) on PA-7000 Series devices with second-generation Switch Management Card (SMC) may allow an attacker with network access to the LFC to gain root access to PAN-OS. This issue affects PAN-OS 9.0 versions prior to 9.0.5-h3 on PA-7080 and PA-7050 devices with an LFC installed and configured. This issue does not affect PA-7000 Series deployments using the first-generation SMC and the Log Processing Card (LPC). This issue does not affect any other PA series devices. This issue does not affect devices without an LFC. This issue does not affect PAN-OS 8.1 or prior releases. This issue only affected a very limited number of customers and we undertook individual outreach to help them upgrade. At the time of publication, all identified customers have upgraded SW or content and are not impacted.

An improper authentication check in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS may allow an authenticated low privileged non-superuser custom role user to elevate privileges and become superuser. This issue affects PAN-OS 7.1 versions prior to 7.1.25; 8.0 versions prior to 8.0.20; 8.1 versions prior to 8.1.11; 9.0 versions prior to 9.0.5. PAN-OS version 7.0 and prior EOL versions have not been evaluated for this issue.

A remote code execution vulnerability in the PAN-OS SSH device management interface that can lead to unauthenticated remote users with network access to the SSH management interface gaining root access to PAN-OS. This issue affects PAN-OS 7.1 versions prior to 7.1.24-h1, 7.1.25; 8.0 versions prior to 8.0.19-h1, 8.0.20; 8.1 versions prior to 8.1.9-h4, 8.1.10; 9.0 versions prior to 9.0.3-h3, 9.0.4.

Remote Code Execution in PAN-OS 7.1.18 and earlier, PAN-OS 8.0.11-h1 and earlier, and PAN-OS 8.1.2 and earlier with GlobalProtect Portal or GlobalProtect Gateway Interface enabled may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

PAN-OS 9.0.0 may allow an unauthenticated remote user to access php files.

The PAN-OS response for GlobalProtect Gateway in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 6.1.21 and earlier, PAN-OS 7.1.18 and earlier, PAN-OS 8.0.11 and earlier may allow an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML. PAN-OS 8.1 is NOT affected.

The PAN-OS Management Web Interface in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 8.1.2 and earlier may allow an authenticated user to shut down all management sessions, resulting in all logged in users to be redirected to the login page. PAN-OS 6.1, PAN-OS 7.1 and PAN-OS 8.0 are NOT affected.

Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS before 6.1.19, 7.0.x before 7.0.19, 7.1.x before 7.1.14, and 8.0.x before 8.0.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving the management interface.
