low Nessus Plugin ID 135904

Language:

Synopsis

A VPN client installed on remote Windows host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of Palo Alto GlobalProtect Agent installed on the remote Windows host is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.9, or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to extra information provided when the troubleshooting log level is set to 'Dump'. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information, including VPN cookie information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Palo Alto GlobalProtect Agent 5.0.9, 5.1.1, or later
