AI-suggested

The vendor recommends minimizing risk by restricting access to the management web interface to trusted internal IP addresses as per their best practice deployment guidelines. Users should follow Palo Alto Networks' recommended access restrictions to reduce exposure.

Description

An information disclosure vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to obtain web session tokens. Exploitation requires a legitimate user to click a malicious link. The vulnerability affects PAN-OS on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and Panorama (virtual and M-Series). Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access are not impacted. Restricting management interface access to trusted internal IPs reduces risk.
