Description
When configured using SAML, a session fixation vulnerability in the GlobalProtect™ login enables an attacker to impersonate a legitimate authorized user and perform actions as that GlobalProtect user. This requires the legitimate user to first click on a malicious link provided by the attacker. The SAML login for the PAN-OS® management interface is not affected. Additionally, this issue does not affect Cloud NGFW and all Prisma® Access instances are proactively patched.

PAN-OS 11.0 is EoL. We listed it in this section for completeness because we added a patch for PAN-OS 11.0 before it reached EoL. If you are running PAN-OS 11.0 in any of your firewalls, we strongly recommend that you upgrade from this EoL vulnerable version to a fixed version. We proactively initiated an upgrade of Prisma Access on March 21, 2025, to cover all tenants.
Workaround: This issue can be mitigated using a different form of authentication for the GlobalProtect portal (such as Client Certificate Authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, or Kerberos). For more information about configuring authentication for the GlobalProtect portal see this technical documentation https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-1/pan-os-web-interface-help/globalprotect/network-globalprotect-portals/globalprotect-portals-authentication-configuration-tab .
Exploitation: Palo Alto Networks is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this issue.
