CVE-2024-5908: GlobalProtect App: Encrypted Credential Exposure via Log Files

First published: Wed Jun 12 2024(Updated: )

A problem with the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app can result in exposure of encrypted user credentials, used for connecting to GlobalProtect, in application logs. Normally, these application logs are only viewable by local users and are included when generating logs for troubleshooting purposes. This means that these encrypted credentials are exposed to recipients of the application logs.
