Descriptions

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.

Una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios (PE) en el agente Cortex XDR de Palo Alto Networks en dispositivos Windows permite a un usuario local ejecutar programas con privilegios elevados. Sin embargo, la ejecución requiere que el usuario local aproveche con éxito una condición de ejecución, lo que hace que esta vulnerabilidad sea difícil de explotar.
