exploits: Palo Alto Networks is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this issue.
solutions: This issue is fixed in PAN-OS 8.1.24-h1, PAN-OS 9.0.17, PAN-OS 9.1.16, PAN-OS 10.0.12, PAN-OS 10.1.9, PAN-OS 10.2.4, PAN-OS 11.0.1, and all later PAN-OS versions.
You should issue new credentials for the impacted external integrations after you upgrade your PAN-OS software to a fixed version to prevent the misuse of previously exposed credentials.
workarounds: This issue requires the attacker to have authenticated access to the PAN-OS web interface. You can mitigate the impact of this issue by following the Best Practices for Securing Administrative Access in the PAN-OS technical documentation at https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices.
