It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-9473 exists.\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-2024-9473/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9473/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-9473","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9473/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-9473","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w47r-whp2-pxw8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GlobalProtect App","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM via the GlobalProtect app's MSI repair functionality on Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[{"product":"globalprotect","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":5.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/AU:N/R:U/V:C/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"A privilege escalation vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows allows a locally authenticated non-administrative Windows user to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM through the use of the repair functionality offered by the .msi file used to install GlobalProtect.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Local Privilege Escalation (PE) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-9473","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Management Interface OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-9474"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PAN-OS: Firewall Denial of Service (DoS) Using Specially Crafted Traffic","id":"CVE-2024-9472"},"products":["GlobalProtect App"],"published":"2024-10-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"GlobalProtect: Authenticated Code Injection Through Wildcard on macOS","id":"CVE-2025-4232","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-12"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Buffer Overflow Vulnerability When Connecting to Portal or Gateway","id":"CVE-2021-3057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Local Privilege Escalation (PE) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-0009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-14"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Privilege Escalation Vulnerability When Using Connect Before Logon","id":"CVE-2022-0016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-10"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Local Privilege Escalation (PE) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-0120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-11"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation in GlobalProtect Agent for Linux and OSX","id":"CVE-2019-17436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-16"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Improper Link Resolution Vulnerability Leads to Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-0017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-18","vendors":["Palo Alto Networks"]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM via the GlobalProtect app's MSI repair functionality on Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9473/"}
