{
    "lastseen": "",
    "description": "A privilege escalation vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS\u00ae software allows an authenticated administrator with access to the Command Line Interface (CLI) to perform actions on the device with root privileges.\n\n\n\nThe security risk posed by this issue is significantly minimized when CLI access is restricted to a limited group of administrators and by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended  best practice deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 .\n\n\n\nThis issue is applicable to PAN-OS software on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and on Panorama (virtual and M-Series).\n\nCloud NGFW, and Prisma\u00ae Access are not impacted by this vulnerability.",
