Analysis Summary
CVE-2020-2013
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the transmission of sensitive information in plain text. By sniffing the network traffic, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain administrator session cookie, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVE-2020-2012
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper handling of XML external entity (XXE) declarations by the Panorama management service. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the system.
CVE-2020-2011
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially-crafted registration request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the configuration service to crash.
CVE-2020-2010
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by an OS command injection flaw in the management interface. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system.
CVE-2020-2009
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an external control of filename vulnerability in the SD WAN component. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create and write arbitrary files on all firewalls managed by the Panorama.
CVE-2020-2008
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by an OS command injection flaw. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges or delete arbitrary system files.
CVE-2020-2007
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by an OS command injection flaw in the management server component. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system.
CVE-2020-2006
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the management server component. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the system.
CVE-2020-2005
Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVE-2020-2004
Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect App could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the storage of user credentials in the PanGPS.log diagnostic file. By gaining access to the diagnostic files an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
