Description
A vulnerability with a privilege management mechanism in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app on Windows devices allows a locally authenticated non-administrative Windows user to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. However, execution requires that the local user can also successfully exploit a race condition, which makes this vulnerability difficult to exploit.
Affected configurations
• paloaltonetworks globalprotect (>= 6.0.0 < 6.0.12)
• paloaltonetworks globalprotect (>= 6.1.0 < 6.2.7-1077)
• paloaltonetworks globalprotect (>= 6.3.0 < 6.3.3)
