| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-4232 | HIGH | 8.5 | Jun 13, 2025 | An improper neutralization of wildcards vulnerability in the log collection feature of Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app on macOS allows a non administrative user to escalate their privileges to root. |
| CVE-2023-0009 | HIGH | 7.8 | Jun 14, 2023 | A local privilege escalation (PE) vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows enables a local user to execute programs with elevated privileges. |
| CVE-2024-3661 | HIGH | 7.6 | May 6, 2024 | DHCP can add routes to a client’s routing table via the classless static route option (121). VPN-based security solutions that rely on routes to redirect traffic can be forced to leak traffic over the physical interface. An attacker on the same local network can read, disrupt, or possibly modify network traffic that was expected to be protected by the VPN. |
| CVE-2025-0120 | HIGH | 7.1 | Apr 11, 2025 | 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. |
| CVE-2024-5921 | HIGH | 7.1 | Nov 27, 2024 | An insufficient certification validation issue in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app enables attackers to connect the GlobalProtect app to arbitrary servers. This can enable a local non-administrative operating system user or an attacker on the same subnet to install malicious root certificates on the endpoint and subsequently install malicious software signed by the malicious root certificates on that endpoint.

| CVE-2024-8687 | MEDIUM | 6.9 | Sep 11, 2024 | An information exposure vulnerability exists in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software that enables a GlobalProtect end user to learn both the configured GlobalProtect uninstall password and the configured disable or disconnect passcode. After the password or passcode is known, end users can uninstall, disable, or disconnect GlobalProtect even if the GlobalProtect app configuration would not normally permit them to do so. |
| CVE-2023-0006 | MEDIUM | 6.3 | Apr 12, 2023 | 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. |
| CVE-2025-0118 | MEDIUM | 6.0 | Mar 12, 2025 | A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows allows a remote attacker to run ActiveX controls within the context of an authenticated Windows user. This enables the attacker to run commands as if they are a legitimate authenticated user. However, to exploit this vulnerability, the authenticated user must navigate to a malicious page during the GlobalProtect SAML login process on a Windows device. This issue does not apply to the GlobalProtect app on other (non-Windows) |
| CVE-2024-5908 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | Jun 12, 2024 | A problem with the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app can result in exposure of encrypted user credentials, used for connecting to GlobalProtect, in application logs. Normally, these application logs are only viewable by local users and are included when generating logs for troubleshooting purposes. This means that these encrypted credentials are exposed to recipients of the application logs. |
| CVE-2024-2431 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | Mar 13, 2024 | An issue in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app enables a non-privileged user to disable the GlobalProtect app in configurations that allow a user to disable GlobalProtect with a passcode. |
| CVE-2026-0250 | MEDIUM | 5.2 | May 13, 2026 | A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app that enables a man in the middle attacker to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. This vulnerability is triggered during the processing of requests and responses exchanged between Portal and Gateway. The GlobalProtect app on iOS is not affected. |
| CVE-2025-0135 | MEDIUM | 5.2 | May 14, 2025 | An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ App on macOS devices enables a locally authenticated non administrative user to disable the app. The GlobalProtect app on Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS and GlobalProtect UWP app are not affected. |
| CVE-2024-9473 | MEDIUM | 5.2 | Oct 9, 2024 | A privilege escalation vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows allows a locally authenticated non-administrative Windows user to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM through the use of the repair functionality offered by the .msi file used to install GlobalProtect. |
| CVE-2024-5915 | MEDIUM | 5.2 | Aug 14, 2024 | 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. |
| CVE-2026-0249 | MEDIUM | 4.9 | May 13, 2026 | Multiple improper certificate validation vulnerabilities in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app enables an attacker to intercept encrypted communications and potentially compromise the endpoint. This can enable a local non-administrative operating system user or an attacker on the same subnet to redirect traffic to an unauthorized server and facilitate the installation of malicious software. The GlobalProtect app on Linux, Windows, iOS and GlobalProtect UWP app are not affected. |
| CVE-2024-2432 | MEDIUM | 4.5 | Mar 13, 2024 | 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. |
| CVE-2025-4227 | LOW | 1.0 | Jun 13, 2025 | An improper access control vulnerability in the Endpoint Traffic Policy Enforcement https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/globalprotect/6-0/globalprotect-app-new-features/new-features-released-in-gp-app/endpoint-traffic-policy-enforcement feature of the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app allows certain packets to remain unencrypted instead of being properly secured within the tunnel. An attacker with physical access to the network can inject rogue devices to intercept these packets. Under norm |
