Description

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.
