CVE-2025-0120: Palo Alto Networks Globalprotect

High severity, CVSS 7.0. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Palo Alto Networks Globalprotect: from 6.0.0, before 6.0.12 (fixed in 6.0.12); from 6.1.0, before 6.2.7-1077 (fixed in 6.2.7-1077); from 6.3.0, before 6.3.3 (fixed in 6.3.3)
