A local file deletion vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows devices enables a user to delete system files from the endpoint with elevated privileges through a race condition.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.
