It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-0017 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect App. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0017/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0017/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-0017","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0017/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-0017","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fv8p-4m6f-8crp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GlobalProtect App","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit improper link resolution to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on Windows GlobalProtect App installations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[{"product":"globalprotect","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"An improper link resolution before file access ('link following') vulnerability exists in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows that enables a local attacker to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges under certain circumstances.
