Vulnerability Profile in URL Filtering

[laurence64]

Hi All,

So here's a question, when I use global find on the "strict" vulnerability profile (the one included in the software) it shows as being part of a URL filtering profile, is this because I have HTTP header insertion configured on that URL profile ?

Any help with shedding light on this is appreciated as always.

This is PAN-OS 10.1.6-h3

@laurence64,

The global find feature, at least in my experience, does a poor job of restricting search phrases. As an example, searching for "strict" will bring up an entry for "QUIC Restriction". I don't think your detection has anything to do with using header inspection, but you could be running into an issue like I described where you're using 'strict' somewhere in a description?

To be honest I was wondering the same thing, as this firewall is at home and therefore open to changes without restriction (the occasional evil look from the Mrs when the internet breaks aside) I removed the Header insertion and it did indeed disappear from the global find search, however your point is extremely valid and I have found that Global find can lead to more than one rabbit hole.

Hi @laurence64 ,

Based on my experience Global Search is basically simple string search. If you search for "strict" it will return anything that containt the string "strict". You can try search for "default" and you will be hit by every profile that has default in it.
