6.0 (Medium) - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:L/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L/AU:N/R:U/V:D/RE:M/U:Amber

Details

A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows allows a remote attacker to run ActiveX controls within the context of an authenticated Windows user. This enables the attacker to run commands as if they are a legitimate authenticated user. However, to exploit this vulnerability, the authenticated user must navigate to a malicious page during the GlobalProtect SAML login process on a Windows device.

This issue does not apply to the GlobalProtect app on other (non-Windows) platforms.
