PAN-OS: Authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the Management Interface

Description

A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the management interface of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables an authenticated attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall.
