Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS versions 8.1.0 through 8.1.11 Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS versions 9.0.0 through 9.0.5

Description The issue is related to missing XML validation in the PAN-OS web interface, allowing authenticated users to inject arbitrary XML, which can result in privilege escalation. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to elevate their privileges.
