Technical details

The vulnerability enables user impersonation through improper authentication in the GlobalProtect portal and gateway components, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to establish an unauthorized VPN connection over the network. The issue requires that third-party VPN clients are enabled; customers using only the native GlobalProtect client or Prisma Access Agent are unaffected. Exploitation results in HIGH impact to confidentiality and integrity of subsequent VPN sessions.
