Hi Team,

Current PAN OS -8.1.10

Customer had run a VAPT assesment where they came up with certain Vulnerability such as

90317 - SSH Weak Algorithms Supported

70658 - SSH Server CBC Mode Ciphers Enabled

71049 - SSH Weak MAC Algorithms Enabled

While checking certain things are not there from the firewall end but while checking using their Vulnerability Assessment tool they are having these mentioned output as above mentioned vulnerability.

Below is the firewall Output

Firewall output:

# show deviceconfig system ssh ciphers mgmt
aes128-ctr;
aes128-gcm;
aes192-ctr;
aes256-ctr;
aes256-gcm;

# show deviceconfig system ssh mac mgmt
{
hmac-sha2-256;
hmac-sha2-512;

}

Are the above mentioned Vulnerability is addressed in any other PAN OS version?
