"The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 8.1.x prior to 8.1.13. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability.

  - A predictable temporary filename vulnerability in PAN-OS
    allows local privilege escalation. This issue allows a
    local attacker who bypassed the restricted shell to
    execute commands as a low privileged user and gain root
    access on the PAN-OS hardware or virtual appliance. This
    issue affects only PAN-OS 8.1 versions earlier than PAN-
    OS 8.1.13. This issue does not affect PAN-OS 7.1, PAN-OS
    9.0, or later PAN-OS versions. (CVE-2020-1981)

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