An improper link resolution vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent on Windows devices allows a local attacker to read files on the system with elevated privileges when generating a tech support file.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
