Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows (affected versions not specified)

Description: A remote attacker can run ActiveX controls within the context of an authenticated Windows user, enabling them to run commands as if they are a legitimate authenticated user. This issue can be exploited when the authenticated user navigates to a malicious page during the GlobalProtect SAML login process on a Windows device.

Recommendations: As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of ActiveX controls within the GlobalProtect app on Windows until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation during the GlobalProtect SAML login process.
