A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS® software enables unlicensed administrators to view clear-text data captured using the packet capture feature https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-0/pan-os-admin/monitoring/take-packet-captures/take-a-custom-packet-capture in decrypted HTTP/2 data streams traversing network interfaces on the firewall. HTTP/1.1 data streams are not impacted.

In normal conditions, decrypted packet captures are available to firewall administrators after they obtain and install a free Decryption Port Mirror license. The license requirement ensures that this feature can only be used after approved personnel purposefully activate the license. For more information, review how to configure decryption port mirroring https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/network-security/decryption/administration/monitoring-decryption/configure-decryption-port-mirroring .

The administrator must obtain network access to the management interface (web, SSH, console, or telnet) and successfully authenticate to exploit this issue. Risk of this issue can be greatly reduced by restricting access to the management interface to only trusted administrators and from only internal IP addresses according to our recommended critical deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 .

Customer firewall administrators do not have access to the packet capture feature in Cloud NGFW. This feature is available only to authorized Palo Alto Networks personnel permitted to perform troubleshooting.

Prisma® Access is not impacted by this vulnerability.

Workaround

Mitigation: In a Palo Alto Networks firewall, you can configure the decryption profile to strip ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) from the TLS handshake, which is used to negotiate the application protocol (e.g., HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1) for the secured connection. When ALPN is absent, the following behaviors can occur: * Firewall behavior—With no ALPN value available, the firewall cannot perform HTTP/2 inspection. It either forces the connection to downgrade to HTTP/1.1 (by letting the client and server negotiate a fallback) or, if that downgrade isn’t possible, it can classify the traffic as unknown-tcp and potentially affects your security policy rules and application identification. * Client behavior—Most modern web browsers rely on ALPN to negotiate HTTP/2. If ALPN is missing, the client typically falls back to HTTP/1.1. * Server behavior—If ALPN is absent, the server can assume that the client supports only HTTP/1.1 and downgrades the connection accordingly. If the server enforces HTTP/2-only connections, then it may reject the handshake and cause a connection failure. Consequently, without ALPN, the Palo Alto Networks firewall does not inspect HTTP/2 connections, which prevents decrypted HTTP/2 (clear-text) traffic exposure to firewall administrators. You can review how to strip ALPN and disable HTTP/2 inspection for targeted traffic in the App-ID and HTTP/2 https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/app-id/http2#:~:text=Disable%20HTTP%2F2%20inspection%20for%20targeted%20traffic. inspection technical documentation. Additional mitigation: The vast majority of firewalls already follow Palo Alto Networks and industry best practices. However, if you have not already, we strongly recommend that you secure access to your management interface according to our critical deployment guidelines https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/community-blogs/tips-amp-tricks-how-to-secure-the-management-access-of-your-palo/ba-p/464431 . Specifically, you should restrict management interface access to only trusted internal IP addresses.
