Solution
This issue is fixed in PAN-OS 8.1.21, PAN-OS 9.1.11, PAN-OS 10.0.7, and all later PAN-OS versions. The passwords for all existing local user and administrator accounts must be changed after PAN-OS is upgraded to a fixed version to leverage the more secure cryptography for password hashes. You cannot update existing password hashes. All new local user and administrator accounts will use secure cryptography. PAN-OS 9.0 is end-of-life as of March 1, 2022, and is no longer covered by our Product Security Assurance policies.
Workaround
Ensure that any exported firewall configuration files are secured and that only trusted users have firewall management access to prevent the exposure of password hashes. Using complex and secure passwords for all administrator and local user accounts makes password cracking infeasible and mitigates the impact of this issue. Switching PAN-OS software from normal mode to FIPS-CC mode ensures that appliances use secure cryptography to store hashed credentials for all local user accounts. However, when you enable FIPS-CC mode, the appliance will reset to the factory default settings and the existing configuration is removed. Documentation to enable FIPS-CC mode is available here: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/certifications/enable-fips-and-common-criteria-support.html
