Affected: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS, Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW, Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access

A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an authenticated admin on the PAN-OS CLI to read arbitrary files.

The attacker must have network access to the management interface (web, SSH, console, or telnet) and successfully authenticate to exploit this issue. You can greatly reduce the risk of this issue by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted users and internal IP addresses according to our recommended critical deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 .

This issue does not affect Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access.
