📋 Description

Palo Alto Networks firewalls can be configured to identify users through a captive portal. This process is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. (Ref # PAN-56221/93759). The captive portal is reserved to identify internal users, thus should not be exposed to the Internet. This issue affects PAN-OS 5.0.19 and earlier; PAN-OS 5.1.12 and earlier; PAN-OS 6.0.14 and earlier; PAN-OS 6.1.14 and earlier; PAN-OS 7.0.10 and earlier; PAN-OS 7.1.4 and earlier
