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-2026-0297 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-2026-0297/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-0297/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-0297","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-0297/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-0297","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pc3v-5r9c-7gm7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VPN client application","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the GlobalProtect app allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges via a man-in-the-middle attack or rogue gateway.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/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-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app that enables a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacker or a rogue gateway to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges (SYSTEM privileges on Windows, and root privileges on macOS and Linux).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Buffer Overflow Vulnerability during UDP Tunnel Handshake","id":"CVE-2026-0297","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Code Execution Vulnerability in Windows Pre-Logon Access Provider (PLAP)","id":"CVE-2026-0298"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Improper Certificate Validation Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-0296"},"products":["GlobalProtect App"],"published":"2026-08-13","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":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-13","vendors":["Palo Alto Networks"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the GlobalProtect app allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges via a man-in-the-middle attack or rogue gateway.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-0297/"}
