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-2026-0246 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent. 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-2026-0246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-0246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-0246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-0246/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-0246","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mjp7-qvjx-36p7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Prisma Access Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in Prisma Access Agent allows non-admin users to gain root or SYSTEM privileges, enabling arbitrary code execution and sensitive data access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"palo_alto","cpe":[{"product":"prisma_access_agent","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/AU:N/R:U/V:D/RE:M/U:Amber","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"A vulnerability with a privilege management mechanism in the Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent® enables a locally authenticated non-administrative user to escalate their privileges to root on macOS and Linux or NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM on Windows.
