Authenticated user impersonation via incorrect portal authorization
Published Sep 11, 2024 · Updated Sep 11, 2024
Incorrect authorization in PAN-OS 9.1 before 9.1.17 and 10.1 before 10.1.11 allows remote authenticated users to impersonate users. The GlobalProtect portal accepts an authenticated user's identity substitution without correctly authorizing it; the underlying logic is undisclosed. A malicious GlobalProtect account is required; exploitation disconnects an active impersonated user and records the victim's identity in PAN-OS logs, concealing the attacker's identity.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
