A privilege escalation (PE) vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows devices enables a local user to execute programs with elevated privileges. However, execution requires that the local user is able to successfully exploit a race condition.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
