An information exposure vulnerability exists in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software that enables a GlobalProtect end user to learn both the configured GlobalProtect uninstall password and the configured disable or disconnect passcode. After the password or passcode is known, end users can uninstall, disable, or disconnect GlobalProtect even if the GlobalProtect app configuration would not normally permit them to do so.

Remedy

This issue is fixed in PAN-OS 8.1.25, PAN-OS 9.0.17, PAN-OS 9.1.16, PAN-OS 10.0.12, PAN-OS 10.1.9, PAN-OS 10.2.4, PAN-OS 11.0.1, and all later PAN-OS versions. It is also fixed in Prisma Access 10.2.9 and all later Prisma Access versions. To maintain GlobalProtect app functionality for the vulnerable features, we released a corresponding software update for GlobalProtect app 5.1.12, GlobalProtect app 5.2.13, GlobalProtect app 6.0.7, GlobalProtect app 6.1.2, and GlobalProtect app 6.2.1, and all later GlobalProtect app versions. To maintain the ability for end users to use the uninstall password feature and the disable or disconnect passcode feature, you must ensure that you upgrade all GlobalProtect app deployments to a fixed version before you upgrade your PAN-OS software to a fixed version. All fixed versions of GlobalProtect are backwards compatible with vulnerable versions of PAN-OS software. However, fixed versions of PAN-OS software are not backwards compatible with vulnerable versions of GlobalProtect.

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.

Remedy

No workaround or mitigation is available.
