"The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 9.x prior to 9.0.5-h3. It is, therefore,
affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. Improper restriction of communications to Log Forwarding Card (LFC)
on PA-7000 Series devices with second-generation Switch Management Card (SMC) may allow an unauthenticated attacker with
network access to the LFC to gain root access to PAN-OS.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but
has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
