Technical details
A race condition vulnerability (CWE-362) exists in Palo Alto Networks Prisma Browser due to improper synchronization during the execution of shared resources. A locally authenticated, non-administrative attacker can exploit this timing flaw to bypass configured access and data control policies. The vulnerability requires local access and has high attack complexity due to the nature of race conditions. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to access data or network resources that should be restricted by the browser's security engine.
