CVE-2025-0131 Information

Description

An incorrect privilege management vulnerability in the OPSWAT MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK used by the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app on Windows devices allows a locally authenticated non-administrative Windows user to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. However execution requires that the local user also successfully exploits a race condition which makes this vulnerability difficult to exploit.
