It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-0117 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-2025-0117/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-0117/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-0117","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-0117/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-0117","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vhjm-w3vw-g6jw"],"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 non-admin user can escalate privileges to SYSTEM on Windows via the GlobalProtect app due to reliance on untrusted input.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/AU:N/R:U/V:D/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-807","name":"Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision"}],"description":"A reliance on untrusted input for a security decision in the GlobalProtect app on Windows devices potentially enables a locally authenticated non-administrative Windows user to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM.\n\nGlobalProtect App on macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS and GlobalProtect UWP App are not affected.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-03-14","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-03-14T15:25:24Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/s3c/globalprotect-ca-cert-ipc","stars":0,"title":"POC for CVE-2025-0117"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Local Privilege Escalation (PE) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-0117","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Execution of Unsafe ActiveX Control Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-0118"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PAN-OS: Firewall Denial of Service (DoS) Using a Specially Crafted LLDP Frame","id":"CVE-2025-0116"},"products":["GlobalProtect App","GlobalProtect UWP App"],"published":"2025-03-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Palo Alto Networks"]},"summary":"A local non-admin user can escalate privileges to SYSTEM on Windows via the GlobalProtect app due to reliance on untrusted input.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-0117/"}
