1. General The PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series module is available in multiple capacity options. All models can be deployed as guest virtual machines on VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and Linux server that is running the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) using a common base image distributed in a compatible hypervisor format. The PAN-OS VM-Series is the virtualized form factor of the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall. The VM-Series is used to protect applications/data from cyber threats using Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewall and advanced threat prevention features. For purposes of this validation, the exact software version of the module tested was 11.0.3-h12. The cryptographic module meets the overall requirements applicable to Level 1 security of FIPS 140-3.

Table 3 - Vendor Affirmed Operational Environments Operating System Hardware Platform Amazon Web Services (AWS) x86 Architecture Microsoft Azure (Note: Specific processor/hardware is dependent on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Instance/Machine Type selected for operation system) Operator Porting Rules The CMVP allows user porting of a validated software module to an operational environment which was not included as part of the validation testing. An operator may install and run a VM-series firewall on any general purpose computer (GPC) or platform using the specified hypervisor and operating system on the validation certificate or other compatible operating and/or hypervisor system and affirm the modules continued FIPS 140-3 validation compliance. The CMVP makes no statement as to the correct operation of the module or the security strengths of the generated keys when ported and executed in an operational environment not listed on the validation certificate. Approved Mode of Operation The following procedure will put the module into the Approved mode of operation:

• During initial boot up, break the boot sequence via the console port connection (by entering “maint”) to access the main menu.
• Select “Continue.”
• Select the “Set FIPS-CC Mode” option to enter the Approved mode.
• Select “Enable FIPS-CC Mode”.
• When prompted, select “Reboot” and the module will re-initialize and continue into “FIPS-CC” mode (Approved mode).
• The module will reboot.
• In “FIPS-CC” mode, the console port is available only as a status output port.
• Once the module has finished booting, the Crypto Officer can authenticate using the default credentials that come with the module
• Once authenticated, the module will automatically require the operator to change their password; and the default credential is overwritten The module will automatically indicate the Approved mode of operation in the following manner:
• Status output interface will indicate “**** FIPS-CC MODE ENABLED ****” via the CLI session.
• Status output interface will indicate “FIPS-CC mode enabled successfully” via the console port.
• The module will display “FIPS-CC” at all times in the status bar at the bottom of the web interface. Should one or more power-up self-tests fail, the Approved mode of operation will not be achieved. Feedback will consist of:
• The module will reboot and enter a state in which the reason for the reboot can be determined.
• The module will output “FIPS-CC failure.”
• To determine which self-test caused the system to reboot into the error state, connect the console cable and follow the on-screen instructions to view the self-test output. © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series Security Policy 4

Note: Disabling “FIPS-CC” mode causes a complete factory reset, which is described in the Zeroization section below. Non-Compliant State Failure to follow the directions in the Approved Mode of Operation above or rules noted in Section 11 will result in the module operating in a non-compliant state, which is considered out of scope of this validation. Zeroization To perform the zeroization service, follow the procedure below:

• Access the module’s CLI via SSH, and command the module to enter maintenance mode; the module will reboot
• Note: Establish a serial connection to the console port
• After reboot, select “Continue.”
• Select “Factory Reset.”
• The module will perform a zeroization, and provide the following message once complete: o “Factory Reset Status: Success” Approved and Allowed Algorithms The cryptographic modules support the following Approved algorithms. Only the algorithms, modes, and key sizes specified in this table are used by the module. The CAVP certificate may contain more tested options than listed in this table. Table 4

• For TLS, The GCM implementation meets Scenario 1 of IG C.H: it is used in a manner compliant with SP 800-52 and in accordance with Section 4 of RFC 5288 for TLS key establishment, and ensures when the nonce_explicit © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series Security Policy 7

part of the IV exhausts all possible values for a given session key, that a new TLS handshake is initiated per sections 7.4.1.1 and 7.4.1.2 of RFC 5246. During operational testing, the module was tested against an independent version of TLS and found to behave correctly.

• From this RFC 5288, the GCM cipher suites in use are TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, and TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
• For IPsec/IKEv2, The GCM implementation meets Scenario 1 of IG C.H: it is used in a manner compliant with RFCs 4106 and 7296 (RFC 5282 is not applicable, as the module does not use GCM within IKEv2 itself), and ensures when the module exhausts all possible values for a given session key that this triggers a rekey condition. During operational testing, the module was tested against an independent version of IPsec with IKEv2 and found to behave correctly.
• For SSH, the module meets Scenario 1 of IG C.H. The module conforms to RFCs 4252, 4253, and 5647. The fixed field is 32 bits in length and is derived using the SSH KDF; this ensures the fixed field is unique for any given GCM session. The invocation field is 64 bits in length and is incremented for each invocation of GCM; this prevents the IV from repeating until the entire invocation field space of 264 is exhausted, which can take hundreds of years. (In FIPS-CC Mode, SSH rekey is automatically configured at 1 GB of data or 1 hour, whichever comes first.) In all the above cases, the nonce_explicit is always generated deterministically. AES GCM keys are zeroized when the module is power-cycled. For each new TLS or SSH session, a new AES GCM key is established. The module is compliant to IG C.F: The module utilizes Approved modulus sizes 2048, 3072, and 4096 bits for RSA signatures. This functionality has been CAVP tested as noted above. The minimum number of Miller Rabin tests for each modulus size is implemented according to Table C.2 of FIPS 186-4. For modulus size 4096, the module implements the largest number of Miller-Rabin tests shown in Table C.2. RSA SigVer is CAVP tested for all three supported modulus sizes as noted above. The module does not perform FIPS 186-2 SigVer. All supported modulus sizes are CAVP testable and tested as noted above. The module does not implement RSA key transport in the approved mode. The module does not have any algorithms that fall under: - Non-Approved Algorithms Allowed in the Approved Mode of Operation - Non-Approved Algorithms Allowed in the Approved Mode of Operation with No Security Claimed - Non-Approved Algorithms Not Allowed in the Approved Mode of Operation Table 5 - Supported Protocols in the Approved Mode Supported Protocols* TLS 1.2 SSHv2 SNMPv3 IPsec and IKEv2 *Note: These protocols have not been tested or reviewed by the CMVP or the CAVP. © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc.

Cryptographic Boundary The PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series is a software cryptographic module and requires an underlying general purpose computer (GPC) environment. The module consists of a GPC (multi-chip standalone embodiment) with the cryptographic boundary defined below. The cryptographic boundary (CB) includes all of the software components of the module, which is included in the file name in Section 11 (PanOS_vm-11.0.3-h12) and also the configuration file that resides on the virtual machine’s virtual disk. The physical perimeter (PP) is defined by the enclosure around the host GPC on which it runs. Figure 1 depicts the boundary and illustrates the hardware components of a GPC. Figure 1 - Cryptographic Boundary 3. Cryptographic Module Interfaces The module is a software only module that operates on a general purpose computing (GPC) platform. The physical ports and logical interfaces are consistent with a GPC operating environment. The module supports the following FIPS 140-3 logical interfaces: Table 6 - Ports and Interfaces Physical Port Logical Interface Data that passes over port/interface Power Power In Power supplies Console, GPC I/O Status Output Self-test status output Ethernet Data input, control input, HTTPS, TLS, SNMP, IPsec, and SSH traffic data. data output, status output The module does not support a Control Output interface. © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series Security Policy 9

The module’s physical and electrical characteristics, manual controls, and physical indicators are provided by the host GPC; the hypervisors provide virtualized ports and interfaces which map to the GPCs’ physical ports and interfaces (i.e., network interfaces and GPC inputs/outputs). 4. Roles, Services, and Authentication Roles and Services While in the Approved mode of operation, all CO and User services are accessed via SSH or TLS sessions. Approved and allowed algorithms, relevant CSPs and public keys related to these protocols are accessed to support the following services. CSP access by services is further described in the following tables. Table 7 - Roles, Service Commands, Input and Output Role Service Input Output Crypto Officer Show Version Query module for version Module provides version Crypto Officer, Security Configuration Configuring and managing Confirmation of service User Management cryptographic parameters and via Configuration Logs setting/modifying security policy, including creating User accounts and additional CO accounts via CLI or WebUI Crypto Officer Other Configuration Networking parameter Confirmation of service configuration, logging configuration, via Configuration Logs and other non-security relevant configuration via CLI or WebUI Crypto Officer, View Other Query module for current Confirmation of service User Configuration non-security relevant configuration via Configuration Logs via WebUI or CLI Crypto Officer, Show Status Query status and version of the Module status information User, RA VPN, module via WebUI or CLI via CLI or System Logs S-S VPN RA VPN, S-S VPN VPN Initialize VPN connection Confirmation of service via System Logs Crypto Officer Software Update Loading new image Message output noting version updated successfully Unauthenticated Zeroize Initiate zeroization command The device will overwrite all CSPs and provide status of completion Unauthenticated Power cycling the module Self-test status output via Self-Tests system logs Unauthenticated Show Status View status of the module via Module status via the (Hypervisor) hypervisor. hypervisor © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc.

The zeroization procedure is invoked when the operator initiates the service. The operator must be in control of the module during the entire procedure to ensure that it has successfully completed. During the zeroization procedure, no other services are available. Note: Additional information on the configuration options the module provides can be found at https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/ Assumption of Roles The modules support four distinct operator roles, User and Cryptographic Officer (CO), Remote Access VPN, and Site-to-site VPN. The cryptographic modules enforce the separation of roles using unique authentication credentials associated with operator accounts. The modules do not provide a maintenance role or bypass capability. The modules all support the use of a password (i.e. Memorized Secret as per SP 800-140E). Upon first boot, the module requires that the Cryptographic Officer change the password from the default one to a custom one. The module automatically enforces a minimum password length of at least 8 characters. In “FIPS-CC” mode, the module automatically enforces a maximum of 10 failed attempts. Passwords stored in the module are hashed using SHA-256, and any passwords that are transported into/out of the module are protected via TLS 1.2. Table 8

The number of authentication attempts is limited by the number of new connections per second supported (120,000) on the fastest platform of the Palo Alto Networks firewalls. The probability of successfully authenticating to the module within a one minute period is 7,200,000/(956), which is less than 1/100,000. The security modules support public-key based authentication using RSA 2048 and certificate-based authentication using RSA 2048, RSA 3072, RSA 4096, ECDSA P-256, P-384, or P-521.

The probability of successfully authenticating to the module within a one minute period is 60,000,000/(2112), which is less than 1/100,000. The firewall supports at most 60,000,000 new sessions per second to authenticate in a one-minute period. Definition of CSPs Modes of Access The following table defines the relationship between access to CSPs and the different module services. The modes of access shown in the table are defined as: Note: The security strength (956) is based on the use of ASCII characters that are utilized, which surpasses the 6 character random number password allowance that sets a baseline minimum acceptable strength of 106. © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc.

5. Software/Firmware Security The module performs the Software Integrity test by using HMAC-SHA-256 (HMAC Cert. #A3454) during the Pre-Operational Self-Test. In addition, the module also conducts a software load test by using the Public Verification Key (RSA 2048 with SHA-256, Cert. #A3454) for the new validated software to be uploaded into the module. Any software loaded into this module that is not shown on the module certificate is out of scope of this validation, and requires a separate FIPS 140-3 validation.
6. Operational Environment The module is a modifiable operational environment as per FIPS 140-3 Level 1 specifications. The hypervisor environment provides an isolated operating environment and is the single operator of the virtual machine. The tested operating environments isolate virtual systems into separate isolated process spaces. Each process space is logically separated from all other processes by the operating environments software and hardware. The module functions entirely within the process space of the isolated system as managed by the single operational environment. This implicitly meets the FIPS 140-3 requirement that only one (1) entity at a time can use the cryptographic module.
7. Physical Security There are no applicable FIPS 140-3 physical security requirements. © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series Security Policy 17

8. Non-Invasive Security No Approved non-invasive attack mitigation test metrics are defined at this time.

11. Life-Cycle Assurance The vendor provided life-cycle assurance documentation describes configuration management, design, finite state model, development, testing, delivery & operation, end of life procedures, and guidance. For details regarding the approved mode of operation, see “Approved Mode of Operation''. For details regarding secure installation, initialization, startup, and operation of the module, see below. Installation Instructions The module can be retrieved by downloading PanOS_vm-11.0.3-h12 from the support site: https://support.paloaltonetworks.com/Support/Index, and a checksum (SHA-256) is available to ensure the module is correct: PanOS_vm-11.0.3-h12: 6c3522db244bdd200075038d4eb5fff580c1d49610fab75e7e9f28f65b451017 Alternatively, the VM-Series version can be obtained by running the following commands via CLI (as an authorized administrator): 1. request system software check 2. request system software download version 11.0.3-h12 3. request system software install version 11.0.3-h12 4. request restart system Palo Alto Network provides an Administrator Guide for additional information noted in the “Reference Documents” section of this Security Policy. The module design corresponds to the module security rules noted in the section below. Module Enforced Security Rules This section documents the security rules enforced by the cryptographic module to implement the security requirements of this FIPS 140-3 Level 1 module.
12. The cryptographic module provides four distinct operator roles. These are the User role, Remote Access VPN role, Site-to-site VPN role, and the Cryptographic Officer role.
13. The cryptographic module provides identity-based authentication.
14. The cryptographic module clears previous authentications when a power cycle is performed.
15. If the cryptographic module remains inactive in any valid role for the administrator specified time interval, the module will automatically log out the operator. The CO will configure the period of inactivity.
16. When the module has not been placed in a valid role, the operator does not have access to any cryptographic services.
17. The operator can command the module to perform the power-up self-test by cycling power of the module.
18. Power-up self-tests do not require any operator action.
19. Data output is inhibited during power-up self-tests, zeroization, and error states.
20. Status information does not contain CSPs or sensitive data that if misused could lead to a compromise of the module.
21. There are no restrictions on which keys or CSPs are zeroized by the zeroization service.
22. The module does not support a maintenance interface or role.
23. The module does not have any external input/output devices used for entry/output of data.
24. The module does not enter or output plaintext CSPs. © 2024 Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PAN-OS 11.0 VM-Series Security Policy 23

14. The module does not output intermediate key generation values.
15. Pre-shared keys used for IKE/IPsec must be at least 6 bytes in length, but no more than 255 bytes. Vendor Imposed Security Rules In FIPS-CC mode, the following rules shall apply:
16. The operator should not enable TLSv1.0 or use RSA for key wrapping; it is disabled by default. a. Checked via CLI using “show shared” command
17. The operator should not enable TLSv1.3, it is disabled by default. a. Checked via CLI using “show profiles” command
18. If using RADIUS, it must be configured using TLS. a. Checked via CLI using “show shared” command
19. If using TACACS+, configure the service route via an IPSec tunnel, and ensure the TACACS+ server is configured for a minimum password length of eight (8) characters or greater. a. Checked via CLI using “show deviceconfig” command Failure to follow these Security Rules will cause the module to operate in a non-compliant state. Key to Entity The cryptographic module associates all keys (secret, private, or public) stored within, entered into or output from the module with authenticated operators of the module. Keys stored within the module are only made available to authenticated operators via TLS or SSH. Keys are only input or output from the module by the authenticated operator via a SSH/TLS/IPsec protected communication. Any attempt to intervene in the key to entity relationship would require defeating the module TLS/SSH/IPsec encryption and authentication/integrity mechanism.
20. Mitigation of Other Attacks The module is not designed to mitigate any specific attacks outside the scope of FIPS 140-3. These requirements are not applicable.
