CVE-2024-5920: PAN-OS: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability in PAN-OS Enables Impersonation of a Legitimate Administrator (Severity: LOW)
First published: Wed Nov 13 2024(Updated: )
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.
