Descriptions

An improper file signature check in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent may allow an attacker to bypass the Cortex XDR agent's executable blocking capabilities and run untrusted executables on the device. This issue can be leveraged to execute untrusted software without being detected or blocked.

Una verificación incorrecta de la firma del archivo en el agente Cortex XDR de Palo Alto Networks puede permitir a un atacante omitir las capacidades de bloqueo de ejecutables del agente Cortex XDR y ejecutar ejecutables que no son de confianza en el dispositivo. Este problema se puede aprovechar para ejecutar software que no es de confianza sin ser detectado ni bloqueado.

*Credits: Palo Alto Networks thanks the Cyber Defence Center of BITMARCK, and especially Maximilan Pappert for discovering and reporting this issue.
