Description

The Palo Alto GlobalProtect app installed on the remote host is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.13, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.5 or 6.1.x prior to 6.1.1. Therefore, it is affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability which enables a local service account or user with token impersonation privileges to execute programs with elevated privileges.
