Descriptions

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated read-write Panorama administrator to push a specially crafted configuration to a PAN-OS node. This enables impersonation of a legitimate PAN-OS administrator who can perform restricted actions on the PAN-OS node after the execution of JavaScript in the legitimate PAN-OS administrator's browser.

Una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) en el software PAN-OS de Palo Alto Networks permite que un administrador de Panorama autenticado de lectura y escritura envíe una configuración especialmente manipulada a un nodo PAN-OS. Esto permite la suplantación de un administrador legítimo de PAN-OS que puede realizar acciones restringidas en el nodo PAN-OS después de la ejecución de JavaScript en el navegador del administrador legítimo de PAN-OS.
