Descriptions

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables a malicious authenticated read-write administrator to store a JavaScript payload using the web interface. Then, when viewed by a properly authenticated administrator, the JavaScript payload executes and disguises all associated actions as performed by that unsuspecting authenticated administrator.

Vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) en el software PAN-OS de Palo Alto Networks permite a un administrador de lectura y escritura autenticado malicioso almacenar un payload de JavaScript mediante la interfaz web. Luego, cuando la ve un administrador autenticado correctamente, la payload de JavaScript se ejecuta y disfraza todas las acciones asociadas tal como las realiza ese administrador autenticado desprevenido.
