Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2024
A privilege escalation (PE) vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent on Windows devices enables a local user to execute programs with elevated privileges. However, execution does require the local user to successfully exploit a race condition, which makes this vulnerability difficult to exploit.
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.
A problem with a protection mechanism in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent on Windows devices allows a low privileged local Windows user to disable the agent. This issue may be leveraged by malware to disable the Cortex XDR agent and then to perform malicious activity.
CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability exists that could
cause escalation of privileges when an attacker abuses a limited admin account.
CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability exists that could cause denial of service of the
device’s web interface when an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request.
A vulnerability was found in itsourcecode Payroll Management System 1.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file print_payroll.php. The manipulation of the argument id leads to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-268142 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
A problem with a protection mechanism in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent on Windows devices allows a local low privileged Windows user to disrupt some functionality of the agent. However, they are not able to disrupt Cortex XDR agent protection mechanisms using this vulnerability.
CWE-276: Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability exists that could allow an authenticated
user with access to the device’s web interface to perform unauthorized file and firmware
uploads when crafting custom web requests.
CWE-252: Unchecked Return Value vulnerability exists that could cause denial of service of the
device when an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request.
CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input (‘Classic Buffer Overflow’) vulnerability
exists that could allow a user with access to the device’s web interface to cause a fault on the
device when sending a malformed HTTP request.
